Pajunk has always been close with the major Regional Anaesthesia societies by providing our support through attendance of the bigger and smaller meetings, workshops and trainings on the European level. With the introduction of ESRA's industry education webinars Pajunk is again at the forefront of actively supporting the education of Anesthesiologists in Regional Anesthesia topics. With our goal to develop and push new Regional Anaesthesia techniques, we are focussing on interesting less known topics that we think will gain momentum and play a relevant role in the treatment of patients in the future. 

In the first half of 2021, three webinars could be held on the following topics:

1. Pre-peritoneal Wound Infiltration Catheter in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery (Link)
