 | SASWRSociety of Anaesthetists of the South Western Region | Members Area |
The Society of Anaesthetists of the South Western Region (SASWR) exists to bring together professionals in the region for education, professional development, and sharing of ideas. The Society holds two scientific meetings each year. It publishes a peer-reviewed journal: Anaesthesia Points West. Several bursaries and prizes are awarded each year. Membership is invited to all professionals. We particularly encourage participation from from junior members. About usSASWR was formed in 1947 with a membership of 48 in response to a suggestion from the Ministry of Health that regional societies might help to spread knowledge and promote friendship among members. The objectives of the Society are to promote the development of knowledge and the art of Anaesthesia in the South Western region by means of lectures, discussion, practical demonstrations and films and in doing so to encourage co-operation and friendships between the anaesthetists of the region. Now with around 500 members, SASWR continues to fulfil those initial objectives, and its meetings remain a significant event on the calendar. The officers of the society are elected for three yearly terms with the exception of the president, who serves for one year. Local organising committees are arranged to create the bi-annual scientific meetings. | Meetings
