ARASA is a weeklong course in regional anaesthesia which is very hands-on, with delegates spending a lot of time hands-on on cadavers, phantoms, live models and anaesthetised pigs.

For a description of the course content and the faculty and their CV's please go to www.sajra.co.za and view them there.

  • The course takes four and a half days - Monday to Friday lunch time. See attached program for details


  • It is held at the Department of Anatomy of the University of Pretoria.


  • The course fee includes lunch and two teas.

  • If accommodation is required we have negotiated a very reasonable deal with a nearby hotel.


  • The course also gives 30 CPD points.

  • The course dates for 2008 are February - 18th to 22nd & October (TBA)


  • The cost for the week is R2000.00 including teas, meals, practical workshops and study material


The course also is also SETA registered and has a SETA number which means that state employees can get their course expenses refunded from the state.

NB ! Due to the very hands-on nature of the course,
attendance is restricted in numbers and place is
usually confirmed on a "first paid, first registered" basis.
