• Why we monitor anaesthesia
• The stages of anaesthesia and your responsibility during these stages
• The importance of recording our findings properly
• What to do when things start to go wrong
• Closer look at pulse oximetry
• Closer look at blood pressure monitoring

The day will end with an open discussion where you will have the opportunity to discuss your worries, reflect on what you have learnt and talk about any cases that you have found challenging.
