Global Anaesthesia Course
The Global Anaesthesia Course (GAC) is an unusual and successful course started by Dr Mike Dobson in 1981 in Oxford, and formerly known as "ADC". It aims to meet the specific needs of anaesthetists from high-resource contexts wishing to support colleagues and patients in low-resource settings through advocacy, research, training and direct clinical work. The course supports informed partnership and collaboration by offering training around common contexts and challenges faced in the low-resource setting: over the last thirty years it has remained popular and useful with attendees who largely come from the UK, Australia, Canada and Europe.
It is now organised by joint directorship from Oxford and the Association of Anaesthesiologists of Uganda. You can find out more about the course at https://www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk/study-with-us/continuing-professional-development/anaesthesia-in-developing-countries , or by emailing events@ndcn.ox.ac.uk and asking to be added to our mailing list.
