EEG Bootcamp for Anaesthesia

Because
Brain Matters.

Anaesthesia staff worldwide are not fully utilising the information EEG monitors provide. We are here to change that — through hands-on, evidence-based training that enables clinicians to integrate EEG into brain-protective, patient-centred care.

"After your course I feel I have crossed a threshold — I actually understand the concepts properly. I left Denmark with new knowledge and am excited to incorporate it into my practice." — Martin, Norway

Course structure

A progressive learning path

Three distinct levels — each with a standardised, expert-reviewed, internationally curated curriculum. Start where you are, advance as you grow.

BASIC

Everything you need.

6-hour in-person program

A foundational day covering the essential principles of EEG interpretation and neuromonitoring. Through quizzes, clinical case discussions, and talks from local and international experts, you will gain the knowledge to integrate EEG into your daily practice.

  • ·Why bother with EEG? Clinical impact and patient outcomes
  • ·Technical fundamentals of EEG technology
  • ·Reading raw EEG traces and density spectral arrays
  • ·Practical tips from international experts
  • ·Interactive case-based learning

All anaesthesia staff — no prior EEG experience required.

ADVANCED

Everything you want.

Full-day in-person program

After completing BASIC, this session dives deeper into EEG applications across specialised settings — induction, emergence, ICU, frail patients, and paediatrics. Complex case discussions from OR and ICU of leading international EEG centres.

  • ·EEG at induction and emergence
