This interactive workshop presented by a group of expert clinicians is designed to extend your skills and knowledge in challenging scenarios applicable to a variety of settings.
The first session will address clinical practice development during which we will review primary and secondary systems assessment and discuss rapid assessment of the deteriorating patient in challenging scenarios when you do not have much time. Using guided simulation case scenarios, you will have the opportunity to discuss and practice management of patients who present with respiratory distress, experience a sudden change of conscious state or develop an acute onset of heart failure.
In session two, you will review medication management with topics including polypharmacy in the elderly, prevention of drug errors, interactions and unwanted secondary effects of medications. A session on diabetes will address insulin type and hypoglycemic agents as well as the management of diabetic emergencies.
To conclude there will be an interactive session which provides you with strategies to manage difficult behaviours, common work stressors and how to take care of ourselves.
