SubjectMedical emergencies
DescriptionThis is a practical medical emergencies course, run in the Simulation Suite at the Academy in GWH. Medical staff will create various emergencies on the programmable "dummy" so that in small groups, delegates will be able to diagnose the problem and instigate appropriate resuscitation. This will be monitored and there will then be a debrief after each one to assess weak/strong points. To gain maximum benefit from the course, delegates should be aware beforehand of treatment for the common medical emergencies seen in primary care, such as faint, asthma attack, airway occlusion, anaphylaxis, myocardial infarct, CVA, hypoglycaemia. Some of these conditions will be run on the model for delegates to diagnose and treat.
Additional information

Please note that there is a charge for the hospital car park, which is run by the local council.
