Indeed, it is already the fifth consecutive SARB congress organised in Oostende. The Thermae Palace becomes the place where the Belgian anaesthetists like to share time with their colleagues and to learn something new. It also allows taking a short autumnal break with the family, walking on the beach and the pier. 

Each year there is something new innovative in the organisation of the SARB congress. This year, we have decided to organise a satellite symposium for the nurses working with us in the OR, in the PACU or outside of the OR concerning the perioperative pulmonary management. This symposium will be delivered alternately in Dutch and in French at a really low cost. Please promote this information to all the nurses who are working with you. 

In addition, four different workshops can be attended on about the management of the difficult airway. Eight Dutch and 8 French trainers who are expert in this field will share their experience with you. Registration to these workshops is required as seats are limited. 

On behalf of all the SARB board members, we wish you an enjoyable and interesting congress!
