North West School of Anaesthesia

Teaching Programme

Despite the challenges that COVID-19 and social distancing area creating, the north west deanery are endeavouring to maintain opportunities for learning for all trainees. This page will be updated with any new developments regarding venues and their capacities for face to face learning and we will aim to provide links to any virtual sessions once they have been set up.

Please note Until further notice, all tutorials will be virtual until at the earliest December. Links will continue to be added over the coming days to join the virtual sessions.

Please follow these rules of engagement when accessing Zoom tutorials:

1) Please join the session a few minutes before the session starts. The only attendees who will be able to attend late are those who have been unable to join due to travelling from hospital following an on-call shift.

2) Choose to connect by audio and then allow to share video. Attendees who do not share video will be asked to turn the camera on, and if not done, may be excluded from the session.

3) Once the presentation starts, could you please mute your microphone to minimise background noise. When asked questions, please unmute to answer.

4) Use the chat function if needed to ask questions during the presentation. If there is a problem with audio or the visuals, please unmute to ask the presenter to rectify it.
