The latest project I’m involved in – led by Cliff Reid with my FOAM friends Nat May, Geoff Healy, Brian Burns, and Karel Habig – has just gone live, it is:
This is what it’s all about:
A two-day residential course for resuscitationists in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia on May 9-10th 2018.
A different course. Personal. Tailored. Intense in parts. Fun throughout. But be prepared to go deep.
Your faculty have dedicated their lives to...

On February 12th, 2018, a new and completely unique service went live in Alice Springs – the Medical Retrieval and Consultation Centre (MRaCC).

We already consider oursel...

So, you wanna know about SMACC CLUB?
FOAM is sometimes considered frivolous or lacking in rigour by those in the dark (ages). Here is our chance to show that FOAMers are as interested in the evidence (or lack thereof) underlying the things we do as much as the next emergency medicine or critical care practitioner.
It’s called SMACC CLUB!

Here are the 8 rules of SMACC CLUB (they may seem strangely familiar to Chuck Palahniuk fans):
The first rule of SMACC CLUB is that you MUST talk about SMACC CLUB!
Yeah, you know the second rule …
If someone says “stop” or goes limp, taps out the c...

SMACC PK Round-Up 4
As promised last week, here’s a round up of the next battery of PK SMACC-talks gunning for the prize of an iPad Mini at the increasingly imminent SMACC conference.
Alan Williams gives the 400 second run down on Non-Invasive Ventilation we all wished we’d been given before we first slapped it on a patient.
Something’s got to give is Becky Szekely‘s enlightening overview of organ transplantation from an intensive care perspective in Australia. (NB. The sound is a little shaky at the start but gets better).
I’ve been looking forward to Emergency Medicine Ireland‘s Andy Neill (@andyneill) joi...

Jam it!
This is a great concept — Just A Minute Instant Tutorials – short one minute refresher videos for use on your smartphone, tablet or laptop, either streamed or downloadable.
It is also a great competition.
It comes from the collective brain of Casey Parker, Minh Le Cong and Tim Leeuwenberg — and I suspect at least subconsciously inspired by Matt Dawson and Mike Mallin’s One Minute Ultrasound app — all five will feature at SMACC GOLD too of course.
Here’s the low down as of 5th September 2013, from the JAMIT — Rural Medicine Australia page, where you can submit your entries:

ED people doing house visits?

Emergency doctors going to someone’s home before they come to the ED and recommending treatment at home?
