Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of ESRA, the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy, we would like to invite you to our X Anatomic Workshop, which will be held at the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.

The workshop is designed for anaesthesiologists and other physicians using neural blockades in their practice, either for surgical anaesthesia or for pain control. The meeting will include introduction lectures of basic anatomical and clinical principles behind each block followed by practical demonstrations of anatomy and block performance on the corpse.

Nerve localization with the aide of ultrasound and neuroaxial blocks under the CT-control belongs to the programme of the meeting as well as demonstrations of the blocks on live models.

The essence of the programme is extensive audience participation permitting a detailed and practical application of the theory presented in the lectures as well as vivid discussions with world known experts in the field of regional anaesthesia. In order to preserve this aspect of the meeting we have deliberately controlled the number of delegates, thereby ensuring that your time spent at the Institute is as rewarding as possible.

European Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy is extremely grateful to the Institute of Anatomy for offering us their immense knowledge and facilities without which this meeting would not be possible. Our appreciation also to the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care of the Medical University in Innsbruck for all of its efforts and performance in the organisation of the course as well as for allocation of speakers and tutors through the course.

The City of Innsbruck in winter offers a mixture of culture and spectacular surroundings and we sincerely hope that you will enjoy both the educational value of the programme and the unique atmosphere of this charming historical city in the Austrian Alps

We look forward to welcoming you in Innsbruck
