About
Key procedures covered in this workshop include ICC insertion, difficult airway management, suprapubic insertion, nerve blocks and CVC line insertion utilising ultrasound.
This hands-on skills training workshop aims to increase the knowledge and confidence of participants to perform a range of procedures including those which are not routinely performed in the clinical setting. Participants will benefit from the expertise of senior faculty from Emergency Medicine.
