One Brain

One Brain was designed in Bristol by a group of senior trainees and Consultant Neuroanaesthetists with an interest in the safe management, stabilisation and transfer of neurosurgical patients in the acute, perioperative and postoperative period.

Our mission is to improve the knowledge, skills and performance of Anaesthetists and Intensive Care practitioners involved in the care of these patients.

This course is evidence based, peer reviewed and structured around the Royal College of Anaesthetists and Neuroanaesthesia and Critical Care Society curriculum and guidance.

The course is lecture and simulation based with lectures delivered by experts in the fields of Neurosurgery, Neuroradiology, Neuroanaesthesia and Neuro Critical Care.

Simulation is employed as a tool to reinforce the knowledge, skills and attitudes, including human factors, required for safe practice in management of the neurosurgical patient.

This course is part funded by School of Anaesthetics, Severn Postgraduate Medical Education
