IMPACT is a 2-day course aimed primarily at CMT’s and ACCS trainees. FY2 doctors can also apply but must have 8 months experience in an acute medical specialty.
IMPACT focuses on the recognition and management of the sick medical patient and consists of several lectures relevant to Acute Medicine, workshops (such as ECG, CXR, ABG interpretation), practical skill stations (eg USS-guided CVC line insertion on a model, intercostal drain insertion on a sheep torso etc) and clinical scenarios involving actors. There will be an assessment on the afternoon of day 2.
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Venue:
