My role is to represent the trainee members at the NACCS council meetings each year and manage the regional network.

Regional Trainee Network
We have an evolving Regional Network of trainee representatives. They are a point of contact for all-things NACCS in your region and help trainees access the opportunities offered by the council to develop an interest in Neuroanaesthesia and Neurocritical Care. If your region is currently recruiting or you would like to contact your Regional Rep please email me and I will put you in touch. Since its inception the network has completed a nationwide survey on training in neuroanaesthesia and we have further projects planned this year.
