Awake & Aware: Regional Anaesthesia Masterclass Leeds is a comprehensive, one-day educational programme designed to explore the expanding role of awake surgery under regional anaesthesia. Delivered by experienced consultants from Leeds Teaching Hospitals and beyond, the course highlights how regional techniques can safely and effectively replace or reduce the need for general anaesthesia across a wide range of surgical procedures. With a strong focus on patient-centred care, enhanced recovery, and improved perioperative outcomes, this masterclass brings together current evidence, expert insight, and real-world clinical practice.

The programme offers a structured journey through awake surgical techniques across multiple anatomical regions, including shoulder and upper limb surgery, rib fracture management, fascia iliaca blocks, ankle procedures, and Ilizarov frame removals. In addition, it extends into more specialised areas such as awake neurosurgery and pain interventions, providing a truly holistic view of regional anaesthesia applications. Each session is designed to combine practical knowledge with clinical reasoning, helping delegates understand not just how, but when and why to apply these techniques safely and effectively.

Ideal for both consultants and trainees, this masterclass provides a valuable opportunity to deepen understanding of regional anaesthesia in modern surgical practice. Through expert-led talks, interactive discussions, and shared experiences, delegates will gain confidence in delivering awake surgery across diverse clinical scenarios. Whether you are looking to refine existing skills or expand your practice into new areas, this course offers a unique platform to learn, network, and advance excellence in awake surgery.
