We will hold a full virtual ASM in 2021 which will include a selection of workshops and a TIVA for Tots meeting.
This virtual event will cost £30 for SIVA members. SIVA members should register from their member home page. Non-members pay a fee of £60.
Workshops are complimentary but "first come, first served". Members can book ahead of the general public via their member home page. TIVA for Tots delegates pay the same fee (£30/£60) and join the rest of the ASM after the T4T morning.
The SIVA AGM for members will take place at 1600 on 26 November 2021.
In November 2000, Dr JB (Iain) Glen became SIVA's first Honorary Member. In 2018 he received a prestigious award from the Lasker Foundation in New York City.
The 2018 Lasker~DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award honors John B. (Iain) Glen (retired from AstraZeneca), who discovered and developed propofol, a chemical whose rapid action and freedom from residual effects have made it the most widely used agent for induction of anesthesia in patients throughout the world. In 2016, the World Health Organization deemed propofol an “essential medicine” and at the time of that decision, more than 190 million people had received the drug.
