Celebrating 30 years of WFSA Fellowships! 🌍
▶️Dr Pauline Wake, Paediatric Anaesthesia Fellow at CMC Vellore, shares how her fellowship has shaped her professional practice and the impact of learning from experienced colleagues.

This fellowship was made possible with support from the Society of Paediatric Anaesthesia in New Zealand and Australia (SPANZA), whose contribution helps strengthen paediatric anaesthesia training and practice.

A World Congress can mean an international presentation, a citable publication and new collaborations.

Perhaps Vancouver is where we will see your next project.

Today is World Patient Safety Day.

Safe anaesthesia shouldn't depend on where a patient lives — that's exactly why WCA2028's Safety & Quality track exists.

Join us in Vancouver, May 2028.

WCA2028: global leadership, global perspectives, global health — three themes shaping the road to Vancouver.

DEI here means more than gender balance or regional spread on stage; it means genuine equity in access and representation.

Counted. Planned for. Resourced. Strengthened.

The surgical, obstetric & Anaesthesiology workforce must be visible in national health planning.

Global Health is core to #WCA2028 — across all 18 tracks, guided by our Global Health Advisory Panel.

[WCA2028 @wfsawca]

200,000+ safety guidelines and standards exist in medicine today. Yet patient safety outcomes have plateaued.

At the #WCA2026 Harold Griffith Lecture, Prof Adrian Gelb made the case for anaesthesiology's next transformation: clinician-led implementation, not more standards.

[WCA2028 @wfsawca]

Vancouver isn't just the host city for #WCA2028 — it's part of the story.

Home to the Vancouver Convention Centre, the first in the world with double LEED® Platinum certification, in a city where 200+ languages are spoken.

Every patient deserves safe anaesthesiology care — no matter where they live. At #WCA2028, equitable access to global health isn't a side conversation, it's built into our programme, our speakers, and our priorities.

Join us in building that future.
