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 and you would like to be involved please contact me on the details above. 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.

Trainee Handbook
Our curriculum resources is a great place to start for trainees with an interest in the subspecialty to gain further insight into pursuing a career in Neuroanaesthesia or Neurocritical Care. There is also valuable information on the Neuro-relevant topics that appear in the Primary and Final FRCA syllabus.
Study Grants & Travelling Fellowships
The council offers regular study grants open to trainee members of the society. Those currently available are listed below. We also offer trainees who have been members for at least 1 year the opportunity to apply for up to £3000 funding for a Travelling Fellowship.
Training Fellowships
We have collated a list of Training Fellowships available across the UK. Whilst these have not been endorsed by NACCS they are an excellent place to start your search for further clinical experience in the subspeciality.
