Case Study Session – Unusual Paediatric Emergencies
Dr Vicki Currie will be discussing uncommon paediatric emergencies through the use of some interesting case studies. Children don’t always read the ‘rule book’ and can present in unusual ways. This will surely be an interesting discussion even for those who only see children rarely.

Workshops – Advanced Monitoring
This workshop will give attendees an opportunity to gain some understanding around advanced monitoring modalities available in the pre-hospital setting.

Capnography – Capnography is the non-invasive monitoring and real-time graphical display of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in a patient’s exhaled breath, providing information about their ventilation, perfusion, and metabolism.

POCUS – Point-of-Care Ultrasound. It is the use of portable ultrasound devices by clinicians at the patient’s bedside to rapidly obtain real-time images, which helps in diagnosing, managing, and guiding procedures for acutely ill or injured patients without needing to wait for formal imaging studies. POCUS is a growing and valuable tool that complements traditional physical examination and can be used in various settings, from emergency rooms and intensive care units to preclinical and remote locations.

Invasive Arterial Blood Pressure – Invasive arterial blood pressure (BP) monitoring uses an arterial catheter to provide continuous, real-time, “beat-to-beat” BP data, which is considered the gold standard for managing critically ill patients

Target Audience
Any person from any background that delivers pre-hospital emergency care at any level, from first aiders though to advanced practitioners would benefit from the lecture content.

CPD Certificate
CPD certificates are included for all workshop related events. You’ll be sent a unique code that will be activated when your ticket is checked into the event.

Refunds – Workshops
For Sessions events that feature workshops, there are no refunds within 72 hours of the start time. This is based on no-show rates as high as 35% when we have had a waiting list of people that could not attend, and the fact that it takes significantly more effort and volunteer hours to organise and run a workshops Session.

Waiting List
If the event is sold out, you can add yourself to a waiting list. If tickets become available, the waitlist will be notified in order via email.
