About
This highly practical two day cadaveric course allows candidates to repeatedly practise basic and advanced ultrasound guided peripheral and neuraxial, single shot and continuous nerve block techniques on freshly thawed human cadavers. These freshly thawed human cadavers have excellent anatomical realism and provide near normal tissue properties for the clinician to perform ultrasound guided nerve blocks and catheter techniques.
Suitable for
Anaesthetists - Registrars and Consultants GP / RG Anaesthetists

Overview

Delegates should return to their hospitals with newly acquired knowledge and the confidence to perform regional anaesthesia on their patients, gained from having practised new techniques under supervision in a realistic setting.

Please note: Places filling!

 

Course Content

Delegates will be grouped according to prior experience as much as possible and the group size will be small, with three delegates per instructor.

Each station at the course will feature a freshly thawed cadaver and a live human model, with two or more instructors:

  • Practise specific blocks on cadavers
  • Practise scanning techniques on live human models
  • Discuss and practise good block ergonomics and needling techniques
  • Dissected cadaveric prosections and charts are available for reference.

There will also be stations where delegates may choose the block they want to practise or learn from faculty and repeat under expert guidance.

GP Anaesthetists - The Australian Government is offering training grants of up to $2000 per day to rural and remote procedural and emergency medicine GPs to maintain their respective skills.

Testimonials
Thanks for the fantastic course. Really appreciate everyone who taught us and enjoyed meeting others from around the country and learning from their experience as well.
A fantastic course overall. I would highly recommend to other anaesthetists.
The course was great, particularly being in such small groups and being able to spend so much time needling and scanning. It was incredibly beneficial for my learning.
Due to the volume of hands-on experience I could see us all improving in our technique over the course. I also learnt some blocks and techniques I had never heard of but am keen to incorporate into my practice.
Hugely useful to practice scanning on the volunteers and then practice needling on the donors in close time.
Truly excellent faculty.
