Had a great time RA-UK! What a fantastic meeting Alan Macfarlane & team. Bravo to Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ for his brilliant BSL! Lovely to get so many of his fellows together that he has inspired!

For the first time we used #regionalanesthesia in India 🇮🇳 in my place for my Mom surgery.
This is the day to remember for me in my field forever!
I personally did bilateral Adductor canal catheters #ACB and other major regional stuff for my MOM.
She was #Pain free!

#RAUK24 I have enjoyed seeing the interaction, humour, friendship & support between these 2 (professors!) over the past couple of years. Great humans.

#RAUK24 Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️ giving a brilliant lecture, tearing up at the end. Emotional but strong message.
