GOSH Paediatric Difficult Airway Study Day

The Paediatric Difficult Airway Study Day is aimed for anaesthetic consultants and trainees, ODPs and anaesthetic nurses that wish to develop, improve and update their skills on the management of children with difficult airway. The focus of the day is giving you hands on experience and sharing of our expertise. Airway specialist consultant paediatric anaesthetists will present short lectures before you have the opportunity to practice with difficult airway devices and techniques. Our final session will be an informal discussion of difficult case scenarios for everyone to contribute.
