2021 Training CoursesWith a heavy heart, we have decided to suspend all training courses due to take place in 2021. All course candidates and faculty are front-line healthcare providers; the pandemic’s impact on this group of professionals has been huge and sadly continues to escalate. All courses will be reviewed in the Spring. To register for email updates about our future course availability, please complete the form below.

GNAAS has a long history of training both doctors and paramedics in pre-hospital medicine.
We welcome clinicians from all over the world to our training courses and our aim is to arm participants with the skills they need to thrive in this complex and challenging area of patient care. We strongly believe that part of our role as a high performing service should be the dissemination of knowledge and skills to others so that as many patients as possible can benefit.
Pre-Hospital Emergency Anaesthesia Course (PHEA)
Our PHEA course has been running since 2007, and was the first course of its kind in the UK. Uniquely, it is aimed at both doctors and paramedics, and puts great emphasis on the team approach to managing critically ill or injured patients.
It is widely recognised that prehospital emergency anaesthesia is an essential intervention for a small number of patients, if performed poorly however, it has the potential to worsen patient outcomes.
Held three times a year, the course provides candidates with the knowledge and skills required to work within a well-governed organisation that delivers pre-hospital anaesthesia.
