Where this comes from

Abstract

We discuss the rationale, structure, and intended functions of the Difficult Airway Society 2025 Education Package, developed as one of the first coordinated educational supplements to accompany the dissemination of airway management guidelines. The initiative integrates knowledge acquisition, cognitive rehearsal, and simulation within a multimodal framework designed to strengthen shared mental models and multiprofessional practice. Attention is given to standardisation and scalability, informed by human factors, implementation science, and behavioural principles, to support consistent guideline application across varied clinical environments. The Education Package offers a feasible and practical route through which recommendations can become embedded in everyday clinical care.
