The ACE WA Committee is pleased to introduce the 2024 ACE WA Lecture Series for 2024.
The ACE WA Committee determined it is important to increase the availability and accessibility of CPD in WA in alignment with the new CPD requirements and increasing requests for virtual options. The Autumn Scientific Meeting will not be held in 2024, in its place, a lecture series will be held once a month in the ANZCA WA office. This format will be trialled for 2024 to determine its viability for the future.
This change allows for topics and meetings to be scheduled as issues arise within certain areas throughout the year, it also allows us to record the sessions using the Zoom room and making them available online.
The evenings will be themed according to prominent topics, and will include lectures, workshops, and practical sessions such as CICO and ALS.
Face to face attendance is encouraged to continue the vital importance of networking, social and collegial opportunities.
Dates and registration will be released as events are confirmed throughout the year.
