About Us

This website is managed and updated with content created by the Group of Regional Anaesthetists (GORA), Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne. 

We are all actively practicing regional anaesthetists, and we are all passionate about teaching and training in this subspecialty. To facilitate the dissemination of skills and knowledge and to raise the profile of regional anaesthesia in Newcastle, we have created this website. We hope it will grow to serve as a valuable resource for all interested anaesthetists, patients, and trainees rotating to the RVI to undertake a module of training in RA.

Some of the members of the group are shown below, although there are many other anaesthetists heavily involved in regional anaesthesia provision and training at the RVI.
