In May 2023 the RA-UK annual scientific meeting took place in the wonderful city of Newcastle in the North East of England, once again providing a unique opportunity for all attendees to build their own, personalized meeting experience in regional anaesthesia and perioperative point of care ultrasound. The meeting focussed on regional anaesthesia and POCUS and comprised of lectures, live ultrasound demonstrations, interactive audience polls, open discussion as well as a special joint session with the Intensive Care Society focusing on regional anaesthesia in Intensive Care Medicine. 

This was the biggest regional anaesthesia meeting in the UK in 2023 with over 30 transatlantic, European and UK expert faculty. Attendance at RA-UK meetings has been increasing annually. Our first ever virtual Annual Scientific Meeting in 2021 was a great success with nearly 1000 delegates tuning in to watch the conference, allowing RA-UK to keep up its tradition of delivering ground-breaking educational content to medical professionals. Following on from this over 700 delegates registered for our first ever hybrid meeting #RAUKISURA22. This was also huge success with over 20 million twitter impressions recorded. #RAUK23 was again a hybrid format allowing delegates to participate either in-person or virtually. Delegates from all over the world were therefore be able to choose how to attend based on their need.
