Relaxed Atmosphere

 

The North Thames Anaesthetic meeting is an update meeting for Anaesthetists of all levels.

NTAM was founded in 1999 by anaesthetists within the North Thames area of London but over the years has expanded to become a truly international meeting, routinely welcoming delegates and speakers from across the UK as well as from Europe, Australasia and North America.

NTAM prides itself on providing a highly educational and broad focus of discussion, focusing on the latest research and updates but also reviewing subjects that may be useful to the typical anaesthetist in day to day practice. The meeting maintains a very high satisfaction rating for its programme and accommodation. The meeting is typically accredited for 15 CPD credits from the Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK. All sessions are mapped to the Royal College of Anaesthetists' CPD Matrix. Take a look at what other delegates have said about us.

Commendations

Trainees and Residents

Calling all anaesthetic trainees, a great opportunity

NTAM hosts approximately 70 delegates, many of whom stay in the conference hotel. We have always felt that the small size is a positive and encourages interaction between delegates. The atmosphere is friendly, meaning that attendees are all able to learn from each other, through formal presentations and from informal discussions over dinner.

A Message from the Committee

1 October 2023

If you have subscribed to our email updates, you will be aware that the wait for the next North Thames Anaesthetic Meeting is (nearly) over! We will be returning in January 2024 - please make sure to save the date and get your study leave requests in.

We are very excited to welcome as our plenary speaker Dr Steve Harris, a Principal Research Fellow in Translational Data Science at UCL and an Honorary NHS Critical Care Consultant (having dual trained in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine). Dr Harris is at the forefront of utilising digital innovation to advance the care provided in the NHS. This includes winning commendations for his Experimental Medicine Application Platform (EMAP) which provided real time information to his team during the covid pandemic. His clinical career has been equally as exciting with over 20 years experience in general, emergency and tropical medicine as well as leading teams of clinicians in Médecins sans frontièrs in Congo.
