Master the bronchoscope!
One of my favourite courses to teach on is the ‘Bronchoscopy for Critical Care‘ course.

The course is ideal for registrars with little hands on bronchoscopy experience, as well as consultants and other experienced practitioners keen on a refresher.
There are still spots available at the next course in Melbourne on Friday 9 December 2016. Check o...
