World Congress on Regional Anaesthesia & Pain Medicine (WCRAPM)

• Held every 4 years
• This is the 6th time all 5 Continental RA & Pain Medicine Sister Societies have convened for this very special meeting
• Coming back to Europe since its establishment and first organization by ESRA, in Barcelona, Spain in 2002

THE REASONS WHY WE DECIDED TO ORGANIZE THIS WORLD CONGRESS IN PARIS...

Paris has a prominent place on pretty much every traveller’s bucket list!

Who doesn’t want to …

    • have a romantic walk, lulled by the sound of the Seine?
    • wander the sidewalks of Avenue Montaigne and be carried away
      by the glamour of fashion at its highest?
    • feel the explosion of flavours of French Cuisine, whispered with a French accent
    • feel the wonder of Paris skyline from the top of the Eiffel Tower?
    • astray through the squares and small streets full of artistes ready to paint your
      caricature?
    • feel the buzz of the French capital and be bewitched by the charm of the tingling lights?
    • feel the butterflies in their stomach driving the around on electric trolleys?
    • visit the most famous museum in the world and marvel at La Mona Lisa?

Paris is…

    • an easily and accessible city, either by plane, train or bus
    • affordable to every pocket
    • the stage for so many stories, dramas, comedies, famous characters and personalities
    • the centre of unsurpassed events of the History of Humanity

And now, ESRA will make History again, the 6-9th September 2023, by hosting the WCRAPM!
Join us and be a part of the 6th WORLD CONGRESS ON REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA & PAIN MEDICINE!
