title: [Targeted training in peripheral nerve blockade].
abstract: Peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) is an important part of the anaesthesiologist's armamentarium. It constitutes an alternative to general anaesthesia, thus it is important that all anaesthesiologists have adequate skills in this area. Lack of sufficient experience during training makes many graduates uncomfortable about performing PNB. An answer to this problem is to provide adequate education in PNB in the early stage of postgraduate training. This article presents how we, at our institution, have set up a PNB program that provides value.
