Joint ISRA-NIRAS Update Day: Ballymanscanlon, Dundalk
2026-10-09
The update day has classically been our main CPD event for established RA practitioners. We’ve branched out in recent years, aiming to host it outside of Dublin to encourage more varied attendance and this is the second year we’re hosting it jointly with NIRAS, the Northern Irish equivalent of our society. This is less fixed and has moved between dates in March, April, June & October in recent years. Traditionally it was around March/April, but the recent dates have been chosen in conjunction with NIRAS. It is unknown whether this will continue in this format or evolve further, but the Update Day will continue in one form or another.

European Society of Regional Anaesthesia Congress
2026-09-09 - 2026-09-12
This is an important date in our calendar that we organise courses around. It’s always run Wed-Sat the second week of September. We also host a subsidised dinner on the Thursday for ISRA members who are at the congress and have had more than 70 attendees in recent years.

ESRA-DRA preparation course, CAI, Dublin
2026-08-07
Our exam prep course has always been held in August to be timed a few weeks before the ESRA congress where the exams are held. We have always held this course at the CAI facilities and would envisage that to continue to be the case. I’m not sure who is leading it this year and therefore whether the date has been booked, so if not, please let me know if this is acceptable for you. ESRA have also started holding an online sitting earlier in the year (April this year), so we may consider a second prep course date around March, but this has yet to be confirmed.

3rd ISRA Cadaveric Regional Anaesthesia course, UCD, Dublin
2026-07-26 - 2026-07-27
This is now our most popular course as it is accredited for the European exams and we get in a high-profile faculty. We have developed a good relationship with the UCD anatomy lab and this will be our 3rd year running it there, so it will likely embed there in coming years. The timing is important as we need access to the cadavers before term starts and they need to have at least 4 cadavers confirmed to be available by then. As such, end July has been successful so far and we run it over 2 days. Email isra.secretary@gmail.com for more information.
