Education Resources of the WFSA
This Website section, contains Update and the Anaesthesia Tutorial of the week. These are developed by the Publications Committee of the WFSA. There are also links to educational sites from around the world.
Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week
Anaesthesia Tutorial of the Week is a weekly web-based tutorial run by the WFSA. Our aim is to support anaesthesia training, particularly in low income countries where access to anaesthesia education is often limited. Anyone however, is welcome to use our materials.
Update in Anaesthesia
Update in Anaesthesia is the official education journal of the WFSA. First published in 1992, the original aim of this journal was to provide clear, concise and clinically-relevant overview articles to be read by anaesthetists working in all manner of situations around the world with limited resources. A particular emphasis has been to provide ongoing learning and support for anaesthetists practicing in countries where facilities for clinical practice and educational development are scarce.
Update is sent free-of-charge to over 3000 English-speaking anaesthetists, and read by many others including surgeons, nurses and medical students. Our feedback shows that Update is a widely-used resource in both low income and well-resourced settings. Update is also translated into Russian and Mandarin, and Spanish, French, Portuguese and Persian editions are underway. Update has always been available via the internet for free download, both as full editions and as individual articles and the editorial board are delighted that availability of this resource will be broadened further with the opening of this new section of the WFSA website.
