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...

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: Entry to the comp...

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...
