The EDiT Network runs an action-packed two-day course on Rottnest Island. The course aimed at emergency doctors and personal that work in the prehospital environment. Maybe you are new to emergency medicine, have a rotation coming up and want to know more or are already an advanced trainee, this course will be high yield for all groups. We will be covering key topics in front line emergency medicine all delivered by FACEMs who are experts in their field. The learning is hands on, clinically oriented, in small groups and ultimately a fun, interactive learning experience. Example sessions include:
- Dive medicine – our flagship session starts with a joyride on the Rottnest Express power boat to a secret location. Associate Professor Ian Gawthrope, Diving and Hyperbaric specialist, will be running an injured diver simulation session.
- Prehospital and Aviation medicine – Delivered by Dr Gayle Christie an experienced prehospital doctor having worked with a number of world renown services including the Royal Flying Doctor Service and both the London and Glasgow HEMS. This hands on session will explore the challenges of managing complex patients in an often hostile environment.
- Point of Care Ultrasound – with the legendary Dr James Rippey, an Emergency Consultant at Sir Charles Gairdener Hospital with a Diploma in diagnostic Ultrasound. His passion for ultrasound in the emergency department and enthusiasm for teaching has made him a leading figure within this growing field. This session is supported by Sonosite who are kindly providing the machines for what is promised to be a highly engaging, fun, practical session.
- Toxicology by the Sea – It would be be an Australian Emergency Medicine course without snake bites and marine envenomation! Learn how to deal anything the Aussie coast or outback critters may throw at you. Delivered by some of the leading toxicologists in Australasia.
