Overview
Scary Emergency Procedures in General Practice: A case-based workshop to focus your approach
Details
General Practitioners are occasionally confronted with high acuity emergency patients requiring rapid intervention and stabilisation prior to the arrival of definitive emergency transport and support teams. Using a case-based approach, this workshop will explore an evidence based, algorithmic approach to the management of these patients, including a focus on how and when to perform specific life-saving procedural interventions.
