Over 90 Anaesthetists visited Airlie Beach last week to attend an annual conference that was organised by a small and dedicated team of doctors from Mackay Base Hospital.
The conference has been hosted by Coral Sea Marina Resort for the past five years, halting for only one year during the pandemic.
What began in 2018 as an event for around 50 people has now expanded to over 100 attendees in recent years.
“It’s becoming more and more popular each year,” said organiser Dr Suresh Singaravelu from the Mackay Hospital.
“It’s a great venue for our meetings and a wonderful location to explore the Whitsundays.”
The Anaesthetist’s conference has expanded largely because of increased collaboration with affiliate groups such as the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine.
This year Professor Bernhard Riedel was the keynote speaker who spoke on how regional and rural healthcare professionals can contribute to national research and why it is important to create better healthcare.
He also spoke on how a type of Anaesthesia can influence the survival from cancer.
During the three-day conference, there were also a series of practical workshops and a little time for everyone to relax, unwind and enjoy the area.
Attendees took a sunset cruise around the bay and also played a game of volleyball on Shingley Beach.
