Workshops at the College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland
We are hosting two exciting workshops on Thursday, 5 November, at the College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland.
These sessions offer a great opportunity to explore important topics in patient safety and clinical practice, learn from experts in the field, and gain practical insights to take back to your work.
9:30am – 12:30pm | An Introduction to Incident Reviews
Expert reviews of serious clinical incidents play a vital role in improving patient safety. This workshop will introduce attendees to the case review process, including what to expect when participating as a reviewer. Hear from the HSE Quality and Patient Safety (QPS) team and clinical review experts as they share their knowledge and experience on this important topic.
1:00pm – 4:00pm | Decoding AI: Implications for Anaesthesiologists
Artificial intelligence is already transforming how we monitor patients, predict complications and support clinical decision-making in the perioperative setting. This workshop offers a clear, practical introduction to AI, combining technical foundations with clinical insights. The aim is to demystify the technology and explore how anaesthesiologists can make effective use of AI in their everyday practice.
Spaces are limited, and we’d love to see you there!
