Meetings
State of the art – London – Early December. Good meeting, easiest to get to of the international meetings, opportunity for London Christmas Shopping.
International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine – Brussels – March. I’ve not been personally but it has been recommended by several colleagues.
ESICM Annual Congress – October. As above.
Social Media and Critical Care – Next meeting Dublin in June. This group appear to be making serious waves.
Courses
ALS, ATLS, EPLS, APLS – I’m not sure these need an introduction. As a personal opinion EPLS is not ideal for more experienced anaesthetists/intensivists – APLS more appropriate.
Anaesthetic Trauma and Critical Care – It’s a while since I did this but would highly recommend it. Great fun, some interesting insights into how other groups, such as the Fire Service, operate.
Focused Intensive Care Echocardiography – This is likely to become part of the curriculum, highly recommended, arguably an essential skill now.
