WHAT IS NEPAN?

NEPAN is a clinical network of anaesthetists and intensivists with an interest in paediatric anaesthesia. All acute trusts in the Northern Region are represented.

Our aims include:

  • To promote collaboration between anaesthetists in specialist and non-specialist hospitals.
  • To support the acquisition of knowledge for anaesthetists at all stages of their careers.
  • To promote the highest standards of perioperative care for children throughout the region.
