Generating evidence regarding peri-operative outcomes and the role of regional anaesthesia is important to the ongoing process of improving patient participation in clinical decision-making.

The 8th National Audit Project is officially underway, with the baseline surveys being released this week. Thank you to the more than 500 anaesthetists who have already filled out their individual survey. Encourage everyone else to fill out theirs and contribute to #NAP8!
I have quite the topic for the #MedSkyDebate this weekend.
Do you use Chat GTP and how has it affected your practise??
ChatGTP did this infographic.
Is AI bad for us or can we use it to assist us?
Proโs and Conโs.
This should be the best debate!!

Don't miss this month's @rcoanews.bsky.social Bulletin, with plenty of @rcoa-cri.bsky.social research content including #NAP8 and #SNAP3 - lots of exciting work going on in the research department right now!
@iainmoppett.bsky.social @ajrmacfarlane.bsky.social
We stuck to the @esra-society.bsky.social and ASRA nomenclature list Iโm afraid! But some of your SONB might be on that list ๐
I'm very happy to share that our new letter has been published - a great collaboration with @ajrmacfarlane.bsky.social and @dr-amit-pawa.bsky.social to improve patient safety in regional anesthesia

Also we are studying perioperative peripheral nerve and spinal cord injury to complement the RA complication data and so this is not something included in PRAN.
I think it would have been a shame to exclude our UK paediatric colleagues!
Yes children will be included. You are correct re large PRAN numbers which are excellent (and we cannot replicate in one year).
Do you think this data from a limited number (21) of (likely expert) mostly US centres represents all paeds RA practice ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ. We therefore still wanted UK RA paeds included.
#NAP8 are recruiting Local Coordinators at each hospital in the UK and Ireland. Visit rcoa.ac.uk/research/res... for information on the role and to register your interest!

Thanks ๐๐ผ. And lots of others too @gonggasgirl.bsky.social ๐คฉ - some had left, some online, some unable to join us. Itโs a fantastic team (in my biased opinion ๐). Lots of excellent stakeholder and patient input.
Huge amount to do still but exciting to get the wider group together for first time.
I have a series of 3 videos out:

๐ฅ Incredible interest for ESRA-DRA Online 2A exam on 12th April 2025. The registration has only opened today and almost half of the 104 places available are gone. Do not wait and reserve you place now to avoid disappointment.
The Centre for Research & Improvement @rcoanews.bsky.social is looking for a new Director and Deputy Director. NAPs, SNAPs, NELA, eFONA, CTN... We've got plenty of brilliant projects (and acronyms) to get your teeth into. Could this be you? #AnSky
