Inspired by the earlier establishment of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia, but with a structure to accommodate the diverse languages and health care systems of Europe, the European Society of Regional Anaesthesia (ESRA) held its first scientific meeting in 1982. During the following 30 years, ESRA grew from strength to strength and implemented a number of important educational initiatives, the story of these developments being the subject of this review. ESRA's prime function is to publicize the evidence on regional anesthesia and encourage its further development, but it also led the way in democratizing European anesthesia societies by being the first to open its membership to all. A recent revision of the constitution has further increased the society's democratic nature.Educationally, activities grew from a single annual congress to include zonal meetings, cadaver workshops, a major online program, and collaborations (guidelines and conferences) with other societies. Finally, the introduction of a Diploma qualification in regional anesthesia was an entirely novel project.
受美国区域麻醉学会成立的启发，但为了适应欧洲多样化的语言和医疗体系，欧洲区域麻醉学会（ESRA）于 1982 年举行了第一次科学会议。在接下来的 30 年里，ESRA 不断壮大，并实施了许多重要的教育计划，这些发展的故事是本次回顾的主题。ESRA 的主要职能是宣传区域麻醉的证据并鼓励其进一步发展，但它也通过成为第一个向所有人开放会员资格来引领欧洲麻醉学会民主化。最近对章程的修订进一步增强了学会的民主性质。在教育方面，活动从单一的年度大会发展到包括区域会议、尸体研讨会、主要的在线计划以及与其他学会的合作（指南和会议）。最后，引入区域麻醉文凭资格是一个全新的项目。
