Critical decision making on a virtual ward round for Emergency Medicine
*4 places remaining
Interactive learning
Considerable obstacles to learning exist in the surgical ward environment including the high volumes of patients, untimely surgical emergencies, shift working and ongoing increases in administrative tasks. This highly interactive on–line course will provide you with the opportunity to develop your critical thinking, escalation and communication skills.
Coping with an adverse event or an error can be devastating for doctors. It is vital to use expert communication skills to inform the family and patient if relevant of exactly the details and to apologise. The doctor has been identified to be the 'Second Victim' as often considerable distress can be experienced and doctors require expert support from their team and from hospital management. This course will address the strain which doctors can feel when they are involved in an adverse event and will provide scenarios for skills rehearsal and discussion.
This course will focus on research methodology. The course will help to develop some of the skills required to plan, conduct and disseminate individual research projects. Specific topics will include study design, levels of evidence, defining research questions and obtaining ethical approval.

Topics covered include: Stomas; ileostomy / colostomy, Bowel anastomosis – end-end; hand sewn / side – side; stapled, incisional and open inguinal hernia management.
