Lafayette Surgical Specialty Hospital’s Post

This webinar is coming up fast! See you soon!

This course is a huge resource for prehospital providers. Two years ago despite lengthy discussion that I spent much time in with some folks at AAP the board that overseas the Neonatal Resuscitation Program did not feel paramedics could effectively instruct this course. They did identify that paramedics such as myself in specialty roles were to be taken into consideration for future NRP Instructor Eligibility (a step in the right direction!). Will AAP’s PEPP program in theory offers basic Neo Resus curriculum, it is often not the core focus of the class. PEPP classes are also regionally offered/required whereas NRP is an near universal standard. Most EMS agencies only require AHA PALS, but that does not address neonatal resusciation during a field delivery setting. Paramedics often rely on paramedics for instruction all across the nation, and while NRP often remains inaccessible to prehospital provider programs like this really help bridge the gap between the hospital and field. Kudos Dusty, Sarah, and Alix! Way to bridge the gap!

Starting to get real.

The EM Symposium 2024 is less than a month away! The tempo is out of control, and now it’s time to put a year’s worth of preparation into action. We all have our vision of the best emergency medicine conference—a place where we feel like a tribe, led by EM physicians we can connect with, who understand our daily challenges. We’ll talk about evidence, but also how to deliver it. For example, multidisciplinary care to a frustrated patient who’s waited 8 hours with chronic pain, or apnoea ventilation to a cerebrally agitated patient. We’ve all envisioned such a serendipitous learning environment, and the EM Symposium has been scripted to address it. Now, the challenge is: can we deliver it? Every session, every conversation, every moment is planned to push the boundaries of emergency medicine. We feel humble and sincere in our ability to deliver this. Let's learn and laugh, be vulnerable with each other, and keep the learning bi-directional. It’s about sharing openly, growing together, and challenging the status quo. Let's respect the Chatham House rules. With less than a month to go, the anticipation is palpable as everyone is readying their finest attire for the gala dinner. Can’t wait to see you all there!

Are you getting your psychological 5 a day? If you’re not sure what they are, you need to see/book Dr Jenkins’ workshops (she’s a GREAT presenter). #5aday #wellbeingatwork
