Does the trauma patient quicken your pulse? Is your management of orthopaedic injury disjointed? Want to learn how to POCUS your efforts most effectively?

Trauma patients are frequently encountered in general practice, with the complex and often multifaceted nature of injury presenting challenges for the veterinary surgeon.

The ‘golden hour’ of trauma management is key – this course will help you to seize the opportunity to maximise patient outcomes. Benefit from multi-disciplinary insights from the only level one trauma centre outside of North America. Enhance your patient assessment, diagnostic techniques and clinical interventions with guidance from clinicians in emergency and critical care, diagnostic imaging, orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery. This collaborative course of online lectures followed by an all-day practical will allow you to apply a holistic approach to the trauma patient.

This course consists of recorded webinars and a day of practical sessions. Please note: The online lectures are a pre-requisite for attending the onsite day (these will be available to view approximately 4 weeks prior to the practical day). These lectures allow you to learn at your own pace and can be listened to at a convenient time. This allows delegates to have more time once onsite for practical, hands-on teaching sessions. On the practical day, the tutors will be happy to answer questions relating to the online lectures, however to get through everything planned for the practical day, they will not be able to cover the content in the same level of detail as the online lectures. It is therefore imperative that all lectures are viewed in advance of attending.

It will allow you to advance your skills in multiple disciplines required of trauma patients to ultimately maximise patient outcomes. This course is tailored to provide a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective on commonly encountered traumatic injuries, with a focus on real clinical cases. Delegates will develop their ability to confidently assess, stabilise and manage trauma patients in the acute setting.
