NAW is all about difficult airway management                                           

NAW has provided a platform for difficult airway training since 2004. From airway assessment to fibreoptic intubation on an anaesthetised patient, all is taught in 2 days.

We teaching extensive hands-on practical skills including animal model FONA.

NAW attracts national and international delegates.

For individual attention the delegates number is limited to 8 doctors and 4 anaesthetic nurses/ODPs.
