Society for Computing and Technology in Anaesthesia (SCATA)

SCATA exists to promote research into the use of computing and technology in anaesthesia, the science related thereto, and to disseminate the useful results of such research. In addition, SCATA aims to promote and facilitate education and training in the areas of health IT and health information management. Membership is open to clinical and non-clinical members.

SCATA, first named the Computing In Anaesthesia Society, was founded in 1987 by Alastair Lack, Gavin Kenny, Mike Fisher and Malvena Stuart-Taylor. It has gradually expanded to a membership of over 300, and is open to clinical and non-clinical members. Trainees of all levels are encouraged.
