About CAT

CAT exists to provide both social and educational welfare for the trainee anaesthetists in the North Trent Region

We meet formally on the last thursday of every month. Issues and topics relevant to training and education are discussed formally followed by a more social and relaxed meeting, often in a local pub

CAT also has representatives on local committees involved in training (eg the allocation commitee and NTRAEC - North Trent Regional Anaesthetic Education Committee)

Guest speakers and representatives are invited on a monthly basis to talk to us about issues or new products

Larger more formal social events are also arranged including the annual CAT Ball in the summer

The new Chairman is John McElwaine and he is happy to discuss any issues that trainees have prior to meeting
