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.

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.
