The Basic and Clinical Sciences Anaesthetic Course (BCSAC) is intended as one of the tools suitable for preparing the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care by improving the candidate’s understanding and knowledge of different areas of basic and clinical sciences.

The next BCSAC will be held online on  7 – 9 and  14 – 16 June 2024. It will be a fully virtual course, and lectures will remain available online after the live event.
