Master fibreoptic skills with a full day of focused, hands-on training.
Our Winter Airway Workshop provides intensive teaching in awake and asleep fibre optic intubations all with a unique 1:1 faculty-delegate ratio to maximise your learning.
Expert faculty. Plenty of scope time!

Today is #WorldObesityDay, a global initiative to raise awareness about the root causes of #obesity and the actions needed to tackle it.
Myself and the team @SOBAuk join with colleagues around the world in calling for action
Next week on @BBCRadio4 and @BBCSounds (for the rest of the world), The Hunger Game, the rise and rise of weight loss drugs. #obesityisnotachoice
