The ISRA ESRA-DRA Prep Course is an annual one-day course for anaesthetists preparing for the ESRA European Diploma of Regional Anaesthesia, also known as ESRA-DRA or EDRA. The course has run for a number of years with consistently strong feedback.
The day is led by a faculty made up largely of EDRA diplomates and runs separate sessions for candidates sitting Part 1 and Part 2B, alongside an update lecture on the EDRA examination. Places are limited, so early booking is advised.
