Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends
Welcome to the World Day of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine – 3rd Edition.
Our 2026 theme is practical and straightforward: Equity, Access, Relief – through Regional Anaesthesia.
Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine represent a global community. Clinicians from every continent have adopted these practices to enhance surgical safety, promote faster recovery, and ensure genuine patient comfort. In recent years, we have witnessed significant growth in this field, including the establishment of more training hubs, increased availability of ultrasound technology, improved safety protocols, and the development of clear pathways that make nerve blocks a routine part of patient care rather than an exception. Now is the time to capitalize on this momentum and secure these advancements for the future.
This year, our emphasis is on delivering neuraxial and peripheral techniques safely and reliably wherever care is given – from theatres and day-surgery centres to emergency departments, trauma services, maternity units and rural clinics.
Our 2026 priorities
- Equity: the benefits of Regional anaesthesia and Pain Medicine should not depend on geography, language, or resources.
- Access: practical training, supervision and essential kit—from ultrasound to robust landmark techniques—available in every setting.
- Relief: timely, procedure-specific blocks that restore comfort, dignity and function.
- Together with AFSRA, ASRA Pain Medicine, AOSRA Pain Medicine, LASRA, and national societies worldwide, we will focus on action:
- Share and scale what works: open, multilingual teaching resources; simple, safe block pathways; checklists that travel.
- Build capacity: mentorship, twinning and hands-on workshops that create local trainers and sustainable services.
- Measure what matters: consistent data on access and outcomes so we can learn, improve and advocate effectively.
- Support low-resource contexts: adaptable toolkits, essential medicines advocacy, and context-appropriate solutions—not one-size-fits-all.
- Strengthen teams: interprofessional training and human factors that make Regional anaesthesia and Pain Medicine reliable in the busy clinical environment, not just in demonstrations.
- Think long term: embed Regional anaesthesia and Pain Medicine within perioperative pathways, quality improvement, and environmentally responsible care.
