About us

Enthusiasts and the charity Academy for Anaesthesia Education, working to raise the quality of regional anaesthesia education worldwide.

Nerve Blocks is run by a group of regional anaesthesia enthusiasts together with the charity Academy for Anaesthesia Education. Our aim is simple: to raise the quality of regional anaesthesia education everywhere in the world.

Learn

A free library

Every block is written to the same template: anatomy, landmark and ultrasound technique, drugs and volumes, complications, pearls and the evidence. It is free for anyone, anywhere.

Practise

Hands-on teaching

Courses and study days put ultrasound machines in your hands, with experienced faculty at every station, from first scans to advanced fascial plane blocks.

A global community

Enthusiasts and trainers volunteer their time so that safe, effective regional anaesthesia reaches more patients, in every country.

Organised by Dr Madan Narayanan and colleagues.
