Plan A blocks framework in regional anaesthesia

The Plan A blocks framework is an established, pragmatic, and scalable strategy to improve global patient access to regional anaesthesia.

Abstract

The Plan A blocks framework has become an established concept and is accepted widely as a pragmatic, scalable strategy. Although barriers remain to clinical practice change, ensuring widespread competence in Plan A blocks and implementation into clinical pathways should improve patient access to regional anaesthesia globally.
