WFSA Committees provide the main source of support, expertise, and guidance for our programmes and activities. You can now apply to join a Committee as a Member, Chair or Deputy Chair to serve from 2024 onwards.

Applications open for the following committees:

  • Constitution

  • Paediatric Anaesthesia
  • Safety & Quality

Important: Please note that at the General Assembly in March 2024, Member Societies will be asked to approve proposed changes to the terms of office for Committees.

Once approved, Committee terms will change to two-year terms, with the possibility for re-nomination for two additional two-year terms. This is designed to better align with the new biennial World Congress structure.
