Event
Dr Jonas David Keuler (Marienhospital Stuttgart, Germany) is the winner of the Sir Peter Simpson Prize 2021. Every year, the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care grants the Sir Peter Simpson Prize to the candidate who obtains the best score at the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Part II examination the year before. Unfortunately, Dr Keuler was unable to attend the awards ceremony at this year’s annual congress in Milan, Italy. Therefore, the ESAIC examinations committee has decided to present the award to Dr Keuler as part of a local ceremony in Stuttgart. On November 7, 2022, the Director of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the Marienhospital Stuttgart, Prof. Dr Rene Schmidt, presented Dr Keuler with the Sir Peter Simpson Prize on behalf of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. Congratulations, Dr Keuler!
