The Combined Special Interest Group (SIG) brings together four dynamic SIGs for a collaborative annual meeting that fosters shared learning, innovation, and connection. Each year, a different SIG takes on the role of host, shaping the programme and providing a deeper exploration of its focus area. This rotating format ensures that, over a four-year cycle, each SIG has the opportunity to showcase its work and highlight key developments within its field.

The four participating SIGs are:

• Communication in Anaesthesia SIG

• Leadership and Management SIG

• Medical Education SIG

• Wellbeing SIG (this year’s host)

Together, the Combined SIG meeting offers a rich, multidisciplinary forum that reflects the breadth of interests and expertise across the community.
