A message from the president

In May 2024 the RA-UK annual scientific meeting took place in the iconic city of London, once again providing a unique opportunity for all attendees to build their own, personalised meeting experience in regional anaesthesia and perioperative point of care ultrasound. We had a fantastic program prepared with over 30 transatlantic, European and UK experts attending, spearheaded by our Bruce Scott Lecturer Dr Amit Pawa.

The meeting focussed primarily on regional anaesthesia but also included POCUS and pain medicine, and comprised of lectures, live ultrasound demonstrations, debates, ask the expert sessions as well as a special joint session with the British Journal of Anaesthesia, one of the world’s leading anaesthetic journals. This joint session focussed on research in regional anaesthesia and coincided with the BJA special edition on regional anaesthesia. There was also an opportunity for networking, informal conversation and hands-on workshops.

The RA-UK ASM is by far the biggest in person regional anaesthesia meeting in the UK each year. Our society membership and ASM attendances have been increasing annually and the 2024 London event was the biggest yet, with nearly 600 people attending in person and hundreds more online. Our meetings also generate significant social media attention, with over 20 million impressions recorded at previous ASMs. Following our first ever virtual Annual Scientific Meeting in 2021 during Covid where nearly 1000 delegates tuned in to watch we have successfully run hybrid meetings, continuing the RA-UK tradition of delivering ground-breaking educational content to medical professionals. #RAUK24 will again be a hybrid format, allowing delegates from around the world to participate either in-person or virtually, choosing how to attend based on their individual needs.

The venue for the 2024 meeting was the Park Plaza Riverbank, London. London is one of the most beautiful and famous cities in the world, rich in history and culture and easily accessible from both the UK and the rest of the world.
