Little is known about which nerve blocks anesthetists in the UK can perform, nor which techniques they use to perform them.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a survey of anesthetists in North West England to discover their experience in anesthesia, which nerve blocks they can perform, and which techniques they use to perform them.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 195 responses were received. Seventy\u2010nine respondents (44%) preferred to perform nerve blocks on anesthetized patients, 70 (40%) preferred to perform nerve blocks with the patient awake with no sedation. One hundred and thirty\u2010seven (85%) respondents used ultrasound only to localize nerves when performing a block. Among consultant respondents, 21 (19%) were unable to perform any upper limb block, and 48 (44%) were unable to perform any block of the thorax, both are a required competency of trainees under the 2021 curriculum.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Trainees may struggle to achieve the required competencies of the new curriculum given many consultants are also unable to perform them. A structured placement in regional anesthetic training in each stage of training could help improve the acquisition of skills and knowledge among trainees. Further studies are needed to assess the ability of anesthetists nationwide in regional anesthesia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.13311","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,21]],"date-time":"2023-10-21T05:19:16Z","timestamp":1697865556000},"page":"404-408","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A survey about the practice of regional anesthesia in Manchester and Lancashire"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4995-692X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Howe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia Stepping Hill Hospital  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mruthujaya","family":"Hulgur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia Wrightington Hospital  Manchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/anae.14768"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","unstructured":"Regional Anaesthesia United Kingdom.Plan a blocks2021.
