Wessex Anaesthetists in Training (WAIT) Annual Scientific Meeting 2021

WAIT 2021 was held online via Zoom on Wednesday 24th March 2021.

The meeting was a great success! with 107 attending via Zoom. The speakers were fab - highlights were Justine Shotton on Zoo anaesthesia, and Nick Jones' very helpful talk on airway management. Trainee presentations and updates from the deanery and trainee reps.
