Stage 1 - training The aims and requirements of the teaching program will be explained to the participants at the start of the workshop. All participants will be given a sticker with a number and a questionnaire numbered about current ultrasound practice which is numbered according to participant number to allow for blinding. Anyone not wishing to participate can either remove their sticker or not return the questionnaire at the end of the session. The number on the questionnaire correlated to participant number. This will be recorded against the participant name to allow for further follow up. All participants will rotate normally throughout the sessions. At the end of the neuraxial session participants will be scored by the session leader according to their ability to adequately carry out the procedure. Scores will be correlated to participant number.
