The Singapore Society of Anaesthesiologists is proud to collaborate again with the Singapore Anaesthesia Refresher Course (SARC) in conjunction with the KK Hospital Obstetric Anaesthesia Symposium. The SARC held every 2 years is certainly a highlight in the Singapore Anaesthesia community where there is robust exchange of medical knowledge, acquisition of skills in workshops and a great time networking with colleagues and friends across the hospitals.

In this edition, Dr Shariq Khan (SARC), Dr Cheng Shang Ming (KKH) and the organising committee comprising of representatives from the anaesthesia departments are putting together a comprehensive anaesthesia programme. SARC promises to be filled with overseas and local speaker experts in their subspecialty fields, plenary and track sessions, pre-conference workshops and educational track sessions for residents and juniors. In recent years, the SARC has expanded on its reach in attracting overseas delegates and this will continue with global health, sustainability and multidisciplinary focus topics close to the hearts of anaesthetists.

With excitement and anticipation, the SSA welcomes everyone to the SARC 2025!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organising Committee for the Singapore Anaesthesia Refresher Course (SARC 2025), I am thrilled to invite you to our conference, taking place from 2 – 5 October 2025, in Singapore. This year’s event marks an exciting milestone, as we are proud to be the first medical conference in Singapore to achieve carbon neutrality.

SARC 2025 will bring together leading experts in anaesthesia, and we aim to create an engaging and informative environment for knowledge exchange and professional development. With a focus on enhancing clinical skills and broadening perspectives in anaesthesia, the conference will feature plenary sessions led by distinguished speakers.

Attendees can look forward to pre-conference workshops designed to sharpen skills in point-of-care ultrasound and regional anaesthesia, catering to both seasoned professionals and those new to these critical techniques. We believe that these sessions, along with the main conference presentations, will provide valuable learning opportunities for all participants.

Your participation is crucial to making SARC 2025 a success, and we are excited to welcome you to Singapore for what promises to be an enriching experience. Together, let’s make this event memorable and impactful for the future of anaesthesia.
