You can find details of where and when meetings are held and what they are about. The next meeting is:
Friday 24th February 2012
The Trainees Prize and Jackson Rees Medal
The format will be similar to last year with a closing date for all entries of Wednesday 8th February 2012. The complete abstract (including title, authors' names and addresses, text, table, space for figure, references and acknowledgements) should not exceed one A4 page. This format will allow 450-500 words, or 250-350 words plus a table or figure. Shortlisting of papers will pay particular attention to the originality of the idea, the amount of work that the presenting trainee had put into the paper, the clinical relevance of the paper, clarity of the presentation and slides, timekeeping and the response to questions. The best 4 presentations will be shortlisted and will present at the meeting. Judging of presentations on the night of the meeting will be done by the whole audience.

Download some of the comments about last year's presentations, which may help you with your presentation if you are short-listed.

About the society...
The Society was founded in 1930, two years before the Association of Anaesthetists and its motto ‘Dilectis Somnum’ means prized, beloved or delightful sleep.
We hope you will come back to the site regularly but more importantly come to the meetings and meet with friends and colleagues from around the region. While you are here, why not join the society?
