European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care The Society is governed by a Board of Directors, a Council and the General Assembly. The Board of Directors is elected by the Council. credits.

The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) holds the most prominent position in the community of anaesthesiologists and intensivists in Europe and elsewhere. The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) resulted from the amalgamation of the former European Society of Anaesthesiologists (ESA), the European Academy of Anaesthesiology (EAA) and the Confed

eration of European National Societies of Anaesthesiologists (CENSA) and holds the most prominent position in the community of anaesthesiologists in Europe and elsewhere. The Council is elected by Active members of the Society from each European country with a minimum of 25 active members. The General Assembly convenes at the time of the ESAIC's European Anaesthesiology Congress. The Society is comprised of Individual Members and Society Members. Society Members are represented within the ESAIC by the National Anaesthesiologists Societies Committee (NASC) which is represented on the Board of Directors and maintains direct links with the World Federation (WFSA). The ESAIC Aims to:

-Promote the exchange of information between European anaesthesiologists.

-Disseminate information in regard to anaesthesiology.

-Raise the standards of the speciality by fostering and encouraging education, research, scientific progress and exchange of information.

-Promote and protect the interest of its members.

-Promote improvements in safety and quality of care of patients who are under the care of anaesthesiologists inside and outside the operating room by facilitating and harmonising the activities of national and international societies of anaesthesiologists in Europe. The ESAIC organises the academic programme of the European Anaesthesiology Congresses, Euroanaesthesia and the Focus Meeting. Members and Non-Members from more than 80 countries from around the world attend these meetings. The European Anaesthesiology Congresses offer a comprehensive scientific programme consisting of refresher course lectures, symposia and workshops, as well as the presentation and discussion of the latest research undertaken in Europe in particular. The European Anaesthesiology Congresses are accredited by the U.E.M.S./EACCME for C.M.E.
