The Advanced Critical Care Skills & Procedures Course is a one day face to face course aimed at teaching emergency procedures including management of pneumothorax and management of airways, defibrillation and pacing .
Online pre-reading and activities and face to face lecture will provide clinical context to the procedures that will be taught and allow participants to maximise CPD.
ACEM FELLOWS will achieve the Airway, Breathing, Circulation and Scope of Practise procedures CPD requirement during this one day.

At Verdigris Medical Education we understand the requirement for continuing medical education and appreciate that our candidates will come from a wide background and many with years of experience.
It is our policy to provide a faculty made up of only the most senior instructors (emergency medicine consultants, senior nursing staff and senior paramedics) who continue to treat critically ill patients on a daily basis.
Not only can we ensure that our teaching is up to date and of the highest quality, we can pass on clinical pearls only acquired from continually treating real patients!
