Calling all Scotland-based anaesthetists who are looking to learn more about how to gain maximum training in paediatric anaesthesia with a view to perhaps having non-tertiary paeds in your job plan! We have excellent news for you (for everyone really). On the afternoon of Tuesday March 15th 2022 SPAN trainee rep Dr Jennifer Coe will be hosting a webinar with guest speakers to advise you how to go about maximising your pre- and post-CCT paeds exposure. Previous tertiary fellows, current consultants with mixed adult/paed job plans and college tutors are being lined up to answer all your questions, maybe even before you’ve asked them!
The webinar is planned to be hosted on Teams, will be free of charge, will start at 1pm and last until 3pm.
Notes of interest and requests for more information can be sent to Dr Coe at
spantraineerep@gmail.com
We look forward to welcoming you then.
