ESRA-DRA workshop points

Why the points matter

ESRA-DRA candidates are required to provide evidence of approved workshop attendance as part of the examination process. ESRA allocates workshop points according to the type and duration of hands-on training, including cadaveric and ultrasound-based regional anaesthesia workshops.

This course carries the ESRA-DRA points shown above. Candidates should confirm their own ESRA-DRA workshop requirements directly with ESRA before applying for examinations.
