We are one of the global centres working with the MEPA organisation to deliver this world renown anaesthetic course.

Course overview

MEPA is a 1-day simulation-based training course which was designed as a collaborative effort between paediatric anaesthetists from across the globe.

The course is run in multiple specialist paediatric centres across the globe, including at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH), and consists of a series of peer-reviewed scenarios with supplemental standardized teaching presentations.

MEPA aims to equip learners with strategies for dealing with common emergent scenarios in paediatric anaesthesia, along with the non-technical skills that are necessary for their effective management.

This course equips learners to deal with common scenarios that may be encountered by any practitioner anaesthetising any child anywhere in the world.

The MEPA faculty at Great Ormond Street Hospital are either specialist paediatric anaesthetists, specialist simulation educators, or both.
