Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists

It is our great pleasure to invite you to Adelaide for the 2015 Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) and Faculty of Pain Medicine (FPM) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). This year the theme of the meeting is “The changing face of anaesthesia and pain medicine”. It is said that the body of medical knowledge doubles every five years – it would be impossible for us to stay abreast of this rapid pace of change and keep informed about relevant research and advances in technology, pharmacology and treatments without meetings such as this. In addition, the health system also faces challenges with changing demographics due to an ageing population and an uncertain global economy.

We are grateful to all the invited speakers, from around the world as well as locally and the outstanding support from the healthcare industry who together all contribute to making this a successful, quality conference.

The Faculty of Pain Medicine Scientific Convenor Dr Gary Clothier has developed a captivating program for the FPM Refresher Course Day to be held on Friday, May 1 at the National Wine Centre of Australia.
