The Regional Anaesthesia Workshop was a comprehensive two-day training program designed to provide participants with both the theoretical foundations and practical skills required for ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia. The workshop began with a review of ultrasound physics and instrumentation, including image optimization principles such as depth, gain, TGC, focusing, and dynamic range. Building on these fundamentals, the course introduced the anatomical landmarks, sonoanatomy, and clinical applications of commonly performed peripheral nerve blocks, gradually progressing from basic concepts to more advanced regional anaesthesia techniques.

Day One focused on the most commonly used ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in clinical practice. Participants were introduced to upper limb blocks, including axillary, infraclavicular, supraclavicular, and interscalene approaches, followed by thoracic blocks such as PECS and intercostal blocks. The program then covered abdominal blocks, including TAP and rectus sheath techniques, as well as lower limb blocks such as femoral and popliteal nerve blocks. Each theoretical session was reinforced through extensive hands-on scanning workshops, allowing participants to identify anatomical structures and practice probe handling under expert supervision.

Day Two expanded on the foundations established during the first day and introduced advanced principles of regional anaesthesia sonography. Participants explored the theory, indications, and sonoanatomy of more specialized procedures, including facial and trigeminal nerve blocks, genicular nerve blocks, adductor canal blocks, QL blocks, PENG blocks, erector spinae plane blocks, and facet joint interventions. Dedicated practical workshops provided opportunities to apply these concepts in a supervised setting, further developing participants’ confidence in image acquisition, anatomical recognition, and procedural planning.

The workshop concluded with a series of advanced hands-on sessions that integrated ultrasound physics, anatomy, and regional anaesthesia techniques into a structured clinical approach. By combining detailed theoretical instruction with extensive practical experience, the course equipped participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform a broad range of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks safely, accurately, and effectively in everyday clinical practice.
