Editorial

Welcome to Update in Anaesthesia - Number 17!

We are looking forward to meeting any readers who are in Paris at the World Congress of Anaesthesiologists 17 - 23 April 2004. The World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) will have a stand in the exhibition section, which will be a convenient meeting point for members of World Anaesthesia. We hope to have CDROMs containing back copies of Update for distribution for those with computer access.

Update 17 has a variety of articles including a self- assessment section. I am delighted that we have also gained two new Assistant Editors - Keith Allman and Laurie Barker from UK who have helped with this edition.

Please remember to contact us if you would like to submit an article, or would like us to cover any particular theme. A contact address is given on the back page.

If you would like access to a French, Spanish, Russian or Mandarin edition of Update - the addresses are given below.

Happy reading!
