Resident Doctors Hub

“Welcome to the dedicated resident doctors of the NACCS website. In this section you will find information about past and future events, available study grants as well as news and opportunities from the wider world of Neuroanaesthesia and Neurocritical Care.
My role is to represent the resident doctors members at the NACCS council meetings each year and manage the regional network. The resident doctors network is a vital means of communication between the council and residents across the country. Joining as a resident doctor member is easy and gives access to discounted rates on our bi-annual meetings as well as a wealth of educational resources specifically around Neuroanaesthesia and Neurocritical Care”

Regional Resident Doctor Network
We have an evolving Regional Network of Resident Doctor representatives. They are a point of contact for all-things NACCS in your region and help resident doctors 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.
