We're now less than a week away from Resident Doctors Conference 2026, and we're looking forward to welcoming medical students, resident doctors, and early-career consultants to Newcastle 📍

This year's programme covers topics from maternal safety to anaesthesia in extreme environments, including the ocean, the Arctic, and even space.

We'll also explore some of the emerging challenges facing anaesthetic practice today. For example, how can undisclosed cosmetic procedures affect peri-operative assessment, airway management, and anaesthetic planning?
