Pleased to welcome François Taljard 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇿🇦 as SCATA's new Industry Liaison Officer. Our relationships with trade partners in the UK and beyond have been incredibly productive over the years and we look forward to renewing these ties at future annual meetings.

Both the Times and the Salisbury Journal have published obituaries for the late Alastair Lack, founder member of SCATA. thetimes.co.uk/article/alasta… salisburyjournal.co.uk/features/livin…

Our recruitment drive has paid off! Pleased to welcome Dr James Selby, CT6 based in London as the newest member of our trainee subcommittee. We still have one vacancy, no past experience or credentials required, just enthusiasm for tech in digital health.

Due to time constraints, budgets etc, it hasn't been possible to secure a venue for the Annual Scientific Meeting in June. Plan B is to push back to a Monday in October, with the option of a #gashack the weekend before. We'll have our AMM on zoom in June.

We'll hold our 2022 Annual Members Meeting on Zoom on Sunday 12th June 8pm BST. Members will receive the zoom invitation via email soon.

We've filled all three of our trainee subcommittee posts. Welcome Richard Fenton and George Gladstone who join James Selby. Also welcome Benjamin Hardy as Ordinary member. We still have vacancies for Secretary and Ordinary members x2. If interested, I can send you the role description.

We've posted the draft programme for our ASM on 26-June 2023 in Glasgow. This year's theme is "Digital Care Records in Anaesthesia - Past, Present and Future" events.scata.org.uk Looking for a couple of speakers for the afternoon session - contact [email protected]

Due to insufficient interest and bookings for our planned ASM, we've decided to hold a Working Group Meeting instead. The venue and date are the same. Details are on our website at events.scata.org.uk

We've booked a room at the Lightbox, Colony, Piccadilly, Manchester for our Working Group meeting on Monday 24th Feb 2024. Topics to include an update on the #fhir IG for the intraoperative phase of anaesthesia. Full programme to follow. events.scata.org.uk
