Anaesthesia (e-LA)

Course Description

The ultimate aim of medicine is to provide pain relief; it could be short-term or long-term. This is done through various methods, and one of them is Anesthesia. It induces temporary loss of sensation to facilitate both minor and major medical procedures. Anesthesiologists are required to demonstrate skill and precision, and therefore, play a major role in anesthetizing a patient before any surgical procedure. 

e-Learning Anesthesia (e-LA) is a joint initiative undertaken by the Royal College of Anesthetists and e-Learning for Healthcare, intended primarily to provide access to the knowledge base that is required to support specialist training in Anesthesia. e-LA delivers the knowledge and key concepts that underpin the anesthetic curriculum and help trainees prepare for the FRCA examination. 

The key components that Anaesthesia e-LA offers are:

• Over 750 knowledge-based eLearning sessions covering the first two years of the curriculum
• A selection of MCQ-based revision tutorials covering commonly examined topics
• Formative assessments with feedback (e-assessments) that will introduce trainees to the Primary FRCA (Basic Science Content) and Final FRCA (Clinical Content)
• Articles and associated assessments (e-CPD) to support general and core topic training and development
• A selection of full-text journal articles (e-Library) in PDF format which have been cross-referenced and mapped to the curriculum

We hope you enjoy using this new and exciting learning resource.
