About the ESRA Virtual Congress

The Virtual Format of this ESRA Meeting will encourage interactivity, framed by your input, commitment and pro–action. We have created a high–quality comprehensive scientific program, at the forefront of cutting–edge science, innovation, and evidence – based clinical practice, including stimulating lectures and other activities, lead by experts in the fields of Regional Anaesthesia, Perioperative Medicine, POCUS and Pain Therapy. Our efforts emphasize Continuous Medical Education and are focused on promoting and leveraging networking opportunities between speakers and the audience, which are considered of utmost importance.

The scientific standard of every ESRA Annual Congress is now recognized as one of the best in the world, presented by «world–renowned» speakers, and as a result carries a high rating with the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCMER). Similarly, next September, an enhanced world–class program will be delivered, in a virtual format, via a dedicated digital platform, built for learning, collaboration and networking between the faculty and the audience. In this context it will include:

  • Networking Parallel Sessions, with dedicated time not only to Lectures but also to Q&A as well
