Society for Computing & Technology in Anaesthesia

We've booked a room at the Lightbox, Colony, Piccadilly, Manchester for our Working Group meeting on Monday 24th Feb 2024. Topics to include an update on the #fhir IG for the intraoperative phase of anaesthesia. Full programme to follow. events.scata.org.uk

Due to insufficient interest and bookings for our planned ASM, we've decided to hold a Working Group Meeting instead. The venue and date are the same. Details are on our website at events.scata.org.uk

We've posted the draft programme for our ASM on 26-June 2023 in Glasgow. This year's theme is "Digital Care Records in Anaesthesia - Past, Present and Future" events.scata.org.uk Looking for a couple of speakers for the afternoon session - contact events@scata.org.uk

@chebbes @jplomas @ICNARC #gashack 3 moved a stage closer, provisional venue the Chairman's Club, Etihad Stadium 15-16th Oct. Awaiting final T&Cs and cancellation policy but expect an announcement shortly.

@jplomas @ICNARC @scata_uk I've been very bad and intended to come to #Gashack and never made it... partly because of COVID and clinical pressures and job interview stuff at that time, and then because my coding is probably not good enough, but definitely want to develop that side of my portfolio

Off on a tangent, but @ICNARC - do you have a software way (library maybe) that converts between SNOMED and ICNARC code? (or maybe other UK ICUs?) This would seem a good #eHealth function on an #EPR

Please volunteer to submit data for your department today, talk to your colleagues and submit your data (quick and easy) at: bit.ly/fatigueaudit Share with your colleagues around the region and help us #FightFatigue [🧵END - please share!]

There is a wealth of information on fatigue and its management at the #FightFatigue page anaesthetists.org/Home/Wellbeing…

Today SCATA (with support from the @RCoANews, @Assoc_Anaes & @FICMNews #FightFatigue group) launches data collection for a service evaluation of rest facilities & culture in anaesthesia and intensive care. bit.ly/fatigueaudit 🧵 👇

We've filled all three of our trainee subcommittee posts. Welcome @DrRichFenton and @GasDoc_Cometh who join James Selby. Also welcome @Benj_Hardy as Ordinary member. We still have vacancies for Secretary and Ordinary members x2. If interested, I can send you the role description.

Today we remember Dr Andrew Norton. @scata_uk representatives at the funeral in person & online of a man who made such an enormous contribution to informatics within anaesthesia. RIP A.N.

We'll hold our 2022 Annual Members Meeting on Zoom on Sunday 12th June @8pm BST. Members will receive the zoom invitation via email soon.

Due to time constraints, budgets etc, it hasn't been possible to secure a venue for the Annual Scientific Meeting in June. Plan B is to push back to a Monday in October, with the option of a #gashack the weekend before. We'll have our AMM on zoom in June.

Our recruitment drive has paid off! Pleased to welcome Dr James Selby, CT6 based in London as the newest member of our trainee subcommittee. We still have one vacancy, no past experience or credentials required, just enthusiasm for tech in digital health.

Both the Times and the Salisbury Journal have published obituaries for the late Alastair Lack, founder member of SCATA. thetimes.co.uk/article/alasta… salisburyjournal.co.uk/features/livin…
