Care of the Critically Ill Surgical Patient (CCrISP) Course is organized by The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) of England and will be held from Nov 05 - 06, 2019 at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, England, United Kingdom. The target audience for this medical event is CT1-2 and SAS grades. Senior trainees are also welcome to attend a CCrISP course if they have not done so before. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 12 CPD Points. Conference Description : CCrISP is a two-day, interactive course (including mandatory, pre-course eLearning) covering the practical skills and knowledge needed to look after surgical patients including those who are deteriorating or at risk of doing so. Highly knowledgeable faculty from both surgical and anaesthetic specialties will help you develop practical, theoretical and personal skills in a safe environment so that you can assess and manage critical situations in a systematic way. CCrISP is relevant to all specialties, however, examples are predominantly taken from general surgical patients. CCrISP is curriculum mandated training for Core Surgery and therefore eligible for HEE study leave applications. You will participate in a variety of practical training sessions during the CCrISP course, including: • Learning a system of assessment for the critically ill • Understanding the subtlety and variety of critical illness presentation, alongside ways to improve its detection • Understanding the importance of avoiding complications if possible •  Recognising  the surgeon’s role in delivering multidisciplinary care to surgical patients • Interacting with nursing staff, other surgeons, intensivists, and  anaesthetists • Delivering the information and support that patients and their relatives require during surgical care Conference Objectives : • Adopt a structured, comprehensive approach to managing surgical patients • Judge which patients are at most risk and plan to reduce their risk of adverse outcomes •  Recognise  the deteriorating patient • Model your non-operative technical skills in a safe environment Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

ALS - Advanced Life Support Course is organized by Resuscitation Council (UK) and will be held from Dec 12 - 13, 2019 at Royal Wolverhampton Hospital, Wolverhampton, England, United Kingdom. This CPD Conference has been approved for a maximum of 10 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. Who is this course suitable for? The ALS provider course is designed for healthcare professionals who would be expected to apply the skills taught as part of their clinical duties, or to teach them on a regular basis. Appropriate participants include doctors, paramedics and nurses working in acute care areas (e.g. ED, CCU, ICU, HDU, operating theatres, acute medical admissions units) or on resuscitation /medical emergency/ICU outreach teams. All applicants must hold a professional healthcare qualification or be in training for a professional healthcare qualification. Medical students, nurses and other healthcare providers not covered in the groups above should be encouraged to complete the Immediate Life Support (ILS) course. Those with a particular interest in resuscitation should then consider attending an ALS provider course, where appropriate. Medical students in their final year of training can be accepted as candidates on an ALS course if this is an established local arrangement. Course structure and programme ALS courses are held at centres throughout the UK and are approved and certified by the Resuscitation Council (UK). This ensures uniformity of content and standard regardless of the centre. This is a 2-day face-to-face course.  All candidates will be registered on the Learning Management System (LMS) regardless of their chosen course pathway to access course modules, pre-course multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ), course evaluation and post-course certificates. The course programme consists of lectures, workshops, skill stations and cardiac arrest simulations (i.e. CASTeach). Learning outcomes The ALS course teaches the knowledge and skills required to: • recognise and treat the deteriorating patient using a structured ABCDE approach; • deliver standardised CPR in adults; • manage a cardiac arrest by working with a multidisciplinary team in an emergency situation; • utilise non-technical skills to facilitate strong team leadership and effective team membership.
