The emergency department (ED) is certainly the most complex area of care within the hospital. It is an area of complex interactions with multiple providers involved in numerous, interrelated processes with disparate resources. Effectively functioning ED is a responsibility of all the team members, not only the leader. Nowadays emergency physicians must not only focus on competently administered care for the patients, but also on effective resource management, process management, interpersonal and interprofessional communication and conflict management. This course provides essential theoretical knowledge of emergency department management principles.

Emergency ultrasound continues to develop and now is one of the key competencies in the clinical practice of emergency medicine. Trauma, abdominal aortic aneurysm, ectopic pregnancy, difficult vascular access, procedural guidance and many other cases in everyday emergency department’s life are dependent on basic ultrasound skills that every emergency physician could use to improve their clinical judgement and faster delivery of care for the patient. The course provides state-of-art theoretical knowledge and practical skills on emergency ultrasound protocols and techniques.

For every emergency clinician it is important to ensure the knowledge and skills to safely administer PSA and to treat possible complications. This course provides state-of-art theoretical knowledge and practical skills on how to prepare the patient and the environment to perform safe PSA in emergency department and how to avoid and treat the most common complications related to PSA.

Major trauma cases in emergency department require a team approach where every member demonstrates both technical and non-technical skills effectively to deliver best possible care for the patient. Trauma team usually brings together physicians of various specialties and it is essential to have the knowledge and tools on how to be effective as a team. This course includes the technical and non-technical skills required to optimise care of this group of patients and is focused on practical learning through simulation.
