Rome: May 2010

The Society’s spring meeting in 2010 will be in Rome in conjunction with Professor Piacevoli and the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care in Rome. The preliminary programme, accommodation and travel advice are attached to allow members to book their study leave and flights in good time. The choice of activity in Rome is endless and many members have visited before, hence the Society has planned for a busy tour on Thursday with the Wednesday and Saturday offering more freedom and choice.
