OVERVIEW
The Clotting Conference 2 Day Conference for All Nurses is organized by Ausmed Education Pty Ltd and would be held during Nov 13 - 14, 2017 at Mercure Brisbane, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
The target audience for this medical event for Nurses. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 11 CPD Hours.
Course Description:
Nurses working in any area are likely to care for people who have or at risk of developing a blood clot. While prevention is paramount, are you confident that you would be able to recognise and respond to a patient who developed a clot? Attend this two day conference to refresh your knowledge on causes and clinical management of specific types of clots. Includes:
• How do you know your patient has a clot?
• ‘The Clotting Cascade’ - understanding coagulation
• ‘Stop the Clot’ - Update on anticoagulant agents and other medicines for VTE prophylaxis
• What’s the connection between hormones and clotting?
• Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) - a complex conundrum?
• Stopping clots and other complications associated with CVADs
• The correct use of compression socks and stockings and much, much more
Thousands of people each year develop pathological clots although there is extensive literature on the causative factors and prophylaxis. This problem remains a cause for concern as the impact on the individual, health services, economy and community continues to rise. The cornerstone to prevention and better management of these conditions is to ensure that all nurses and midwives have accessible current information which can be readily applied in practice.
The purpose of this conference is to provide nurses and midwives with education relating to specific clotting disorders in order to assist in the prevention of disability and premature death.
Conference Objectives are :
• People in your care will receive correct evidence-based information about the prevention of DVT/PE
• A person in your care who manifests signs and symptoms of clot pathology will be rapidly assessed and appropriately treated
• Apply your knowledge of anticoagulants medicines across the continuum of treatment to achieve optimum outcomes
• Clearly relate nursing practice to your new knowledge and correlate this to improved patient outcomes
