W1: Nursing Workshop

Date: 31 October 2026
Time: 11:00 – 12:30
Fee: Included in Nursing Symposium


This hands-on intubation workshop elevates nurses' airway management skills through immersive simulation. Master direct and video laryngoscopy, patient positioning, device selection and safe endotracheal intubation-while building a systematic approach that includes thorough pre-intubation preparation and proper equipment usage. Practice in a safe and supportive environment. Walk out with enhanced procedural confidence, sharper clinical judgment and the ability to lead decisively during airway emergencies. This is your opportunity to transform theoretical knowledge into simulation practice. Spots are strictly limited-claim yours today.

W2: Airway Workshop

Date: 31 October 2026
Time: 14:00 – 15:30
Fee: HK$ 1,500


This advanced airway workshop is built for Specialist Anaesthetists, with multiple hands-on stations delivering a blend of expert insight and practical training to sharpen skills in modern airway management. With a strong focus on videolaryngoscopy, front-of-neck access, and the SALAD technique, the session is designed to strengthen first-pass success, enhance performance in contaminated airways, and support decisive action when every second counts.

W3: Regional Workshop – Upper & Lower Limb Blocks

Date: 1 November 2026
Time: 09:00 – 10:30
Fee: HK$ 1,500


This dedicated workshop offers a comprehensive, hands-on approach to mastering ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia techniques for both upper and lower limb blocks. Rotating through practical stations led by our international expert faculty, participants will refine their skills in anatomical identification using live model scanning and leave with enhanced procedural competence and practical salvage strategies.

W4: Advanced Transthoracic Echo and Basic Transesophageal Echo Workshop

Date: 1 November 2026
Time: 11:00 – 12:30
Fee: HK$ 1,500


Join us for an interactive echocardiography workshop designed for anaesthesiologists who want to build confidence in practical perioperative ultrasound. Through three focused stations — valvular assessment, LV/RV quantitative assessment, and TEE simulation — you’ll practise core scanning techniques, refine image interpretation, and explore clinically relevant applications for everyday anaesthetic practice.

You’ll gain:

  • Hands-on practice on a real patient model for transthoracic assessments
  • Dedicated time on a high-fidelity TEE simulator to develop safe, structured TEE skills
  • Expert faculty offering real-time feedback and practical clinical pearls
  • A small-group setting that encourages questions and skill-building at your own pace

W5: Anaesthesia Game – Escape Room

Date: 1 November 2026
Time: 11:00 – 12:30

Escape Room: Obstetrics

This interactive, game-based learning session is designed to reinforce and enhance participants’ competence in obstetric crisis management, aligned with current best practices. Participants will be divided into teams and immersed in a series of realistic obstetric scenarios that require timely recognition of key clinical issues and formulation of appropriate anaesthetic management plans.

Through a dynamic “escape room” format, teams will work collaboratively under time pressure to solve clinical challenges, simulating real-world decision-making in obstetric emergencies. The session fosters active engagement, encourages peer-to-peer learning, and strengthens participants’ ability to apply clinical knowledge under pressure while refining teamwork and communication in crisis situations.
