National Undergraduate Conference for Anaesthetics and Critical Care

FEEDBACK REPORTING INFORMATION

The National Undergraduate Conference for Anaesthetics and Critical Care conference is aimed at undergraduate medical students with an interest in the specialties of anaesthetics and critical care. We aim to allow students to gain insight into this field of medicine by inviting specialists to speak on a range of topics including anaesthetics, burns and emergencies, military prehospital medicine, as well as current training pathways.

We encourage undergraduate research students by providing opportunities for poster presentations, with prizes awarded to the best overall projects.

Moreover, clinical skills stations, led by volunteer clinicians allow students to develop an interest and practice their skills using specialised equipment.

Being the only undergraduate and critical care conference in Scotland, we were joined by students from Oxford, Manchester and Leicester last year, and hope to build further bridges with students from across the UK.
