Course overview

MEPA is a one-day simulation-based training course which was designed as a collaborative effort between paediatric anaesthetists from across the globe.

The course is run in multiple specialist paediatric centres across the globe, including at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH), and consists of a series of peer-reviewed scenarios with supplemental standardized teaching presentations.

MEPA aims to equip learners with strategies for dealing with common emergent scenarios in paediatric anaesthesia, along with the non-technical skills that are necessary for their effective management.

This course equips learners to deal with common scenarios that may be encountered by any practitioner anaesthetising any child anywhere in the world.

The MEPA faculty at Great Ormond Street Hospital are either specialist paediatric anaesthetists, specialist simulation educators, or both.

Is this course for me?

MEPA for Consultants (MEPA-C) is for consultant anaesthetists who undertake regular or occasional paediatric work, are expected to provide out-of-hours care for children, or who may otherwise be involved in the care of a sick child.
