The Irish Society of Regional Anaesthesia (ISRA) was founded in 2009. It promotes high standards in clinical practice and gives clinicians opportunities to learn, share expertise and work with colleagues nationally and internationally.
Through courses, meetings, grants, educational resources and representation within ESRA, the Society helps clinicians develop their practice and supports the growth of regional anaesthesia in Ireland.
