Emergency Medicine is rich in its variety, pace, and complexity - that’s why we love it! Procedures are our daily bread and butter and for us rural and remote folk the frequency of encountering even essential procedures such as paediatric airway management, critically ill adult RSI or even pelvic binder application can be highly variable. We therefore need to be the experts, ready at any time, comfortable and competent when faced with such.

This half day workshop covers essential EM procedures in a simulated, practical skills workshop environment. It is aimed at any health care professional who wants to put their knowledge into practise, wants to revise, wants to learn new tips and tricks, wants to share their knowledge with likeminded colleagues, needs to be signed off for their Procedural Checklist or just wants a rich, “Do the basics well” pre-conference workshop for their CPD.

Target audience: Rural Generalists, AEMTP/AEMTP Trainees, FACEMs, Fellowship trainees, nurses, paramedics, NP's, ANYONE

$250 per person

“Progress POCUS” supports FACEMs and trainees who are pursuing ACEM’s recommended credentialing pathway for ultrasound.

Experts in ultrasound will be present to proctor your scans as well as carry out Formative and Summative Assessments for eFAST, AAA, Lung, Focused Echo In Life Support (FELS) and Vascular access.

Proctored scans can be entered into your logbook (for hospital credentialing or for CCPU purposes) where up to 50% of logbook cases can be “non-clinically” indicated.

We will finish the day with a review of the SLICE protocol (aka the “quick and easy” RUSH protocol) which provides a stepwise approach to using Lung, FELS, eFAST and AAA scans in the assessment of the shocked or SOB patient.

Target audience: Emergency Physicians, CMOs, Trainees, Certificant and Diploma Candidates, and anyone who wants to improve their ED point of care ultrasound skills
