Expedition and Wilderness Medicine
Guest post Dr Edi Albert – Associate Professor, Remote and Polar Medicine at the University of Tasmania. Director, Wilderness Education Group These two nearly synonymous terms refer broadly to the practice of medicine in austere and remote environments. The former term suggests a “journey with a purpose”, whether scientific, humanitarian, or recreational. The latter terms suggests an environment “undisturbed by human activity”. Either way, a pretty cool way to practice medicine. It is within this context that we can identify three broad aspects to expedition and wilderness medicine: pre-departure preparation ...

Jamm it!
This is a great concept — Just A Minute Medicine 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, ripped from the PHARM blog: Overview: JAMM (Just a Minute Medicine) is a FOAMEd ( Free Open Access Medical Education) conc...

Spring Seminar Goes to Noosa!
The Spring Seminar on Emergency Medicine is going to Noosa in September 2016!   In case you haven’t been to an SSEM before – this is a boutique Australasian emergency conference run by a not-for-profit organisation. It is squarely aimed at EM clinicans who like to get their hands dirty. The emphasis is on practical stuff: SSEM is legendary for the quality of its workshops. And its venues! The last three SSEMs have been held in the Barossa Valley, Darwin and Rotorua. The extracurricular activities are brilliant and the conference draws bright, outward-going, active clinicians from all around Australasia. T...

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! Image by @squartadoc – click image for source. 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...

Jellybean 77 Paul Middleton chats with RollCageMedic
LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog - Emergency medicine and critical care medical education blog In Australia alone thousands of people have an out of hospital cardiac arrest each year. Only 10% survive. It’s a very scary and dangerous rollercoaster. No better place to talk about that than under a real roller-coaster under the Sydney Harbour Bridge with Paul Middleton. Matt went to Luna Park in Sydney a few weeks back. Not to ride the roller coaster nor knock coconuts off their stands for a teddy bear, but to attend the Resus@ThePark conference. He took a few minu...
