Activities
'It makes grants, donations, loans, gifts or pensions to individuals','It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of education','the advancement of health'
The charity remains committed to supporting all charitable initiatives related to anaesthesia. We provide assistance to medical professionals through grants for courses, events, and other educational opportunities, and we also host the annual Edinburgh Anaesthesia Festival—a global conference that brings together leading speakers in the field of anaesthesia to share knowledge and expertise. EAREF has also become the host site for the funds held by small anaesthesia and intensive care educational meetings at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Previously these funds have been held by the University of Edinburgh but they were no longer able or willing to do this and thus, given that we are an educational charity, it was felt that this would provide the ability for these educational meetings to continue to happen
Beneficiaries: 'Other defined groups','No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
Objectives: The advancement of education. The advancement of health.
