SLOVENIAN CONGRESS
OF ANAESTHESIOLOGISTS
Sep 30th, 2022 – Oct 2nd, 2022 LJUBLJANA
The Red Thread of the 8th Slovenian Congress of Anaesthesiologists
will be a holistic view on our practice – that is the entire span of perioperative medicine. Therefore, we have entitled the congress as: “Anaesthesiologist – the perioperative physician”. The topics of the presentations were chosen with current and provocative issues in mind, including important topics for daily practice as well as encouraging translation of evidence-based medicine findings into clinical practice.
The topics of the congress will include novelties and challenges in all areas of our practice, including all patient categories: children, parturient, adults and elderly. The lecture styles will be engaging and stimulating (e.g., pro et contra, hot topics, state-of-the-art, etc).
As we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of SSAIM in 2022, we have decided to make this event even more special: 10,000 virtual seats are available free of charge for international participants (i.e., for non-residents of Slovenia).
We have prepared an exciting programme available in simultaneous translation into English for international participants joining us live or online. We hope that the selection of relevant and a bit provocative topics with 14 renowned international guest speakers and 36 fabolous Slovenian speakers will meet your personal CPD needs in 2022.
Sincerely. Your organising committee.
