The content

  • Faculty will address issues relate to COVID-19 where relevant
  • Many cases to interpret over the two days
  • Intensive CT trauma interpretation practice, including
  • head and spine
  • whole body
  • chest
  • abdomen
  • pelvis
  • angiography/interventional
  • paediatric
  • Time and freedom to review cases at your own pace
  • Case review and discussion panel, Q&A
  • interpretation guidance, tips and common errors to avoid
  • Interactive discussions, what is relevant and significant,
  • take home messages that will change your EM practice

the aim

To provide the busy, ‘hands-on’ EM Consultant with a practical, stimulating and comprehensive update on advanced trauma imaging interpretation:

  • practical (workstation-based learning);
  • stimulating (interactive, challenging cases, immediate feedback);
  • comprehensive (head and spine, chest, abdomen, extremities).
  • Interactive discussions, what is relevant and significant,
  • take home messages that will change your EM practice

By the end of the course, the delegate will have:

  • A comprehensive understanding of good/best trauma imaging interpretation practice;
  • Improved trauma imaging interpretation skills;
  • Greater confidence in advanced practice; and the ability to know when to refer further
  • Identified skills and knowledge gaps, if any, relevant to his/her practice, and clear ways by which these can be addressed.
