Goodfellow Workshops
The Goodfellow Symposium Preconference workshops are proving to be popular once again, so we would like to take this weeks update we are putting the spotlight on them. There is still time to register but we recommend emailing goodfellow@tcc.co.nz to add this to your current registration or register now at http://www.goodfellowsymposium.org/registration/
Workshops 1 (8am-12pm) and 4 (1pm-5pm) - Advanced Cardiac Life Support
This 4 hour course will cover:
- basic life support adult and pediatric,
- use of automated and manual defibrillators,
- recognition of shockable and non-shockable rhythms,
- airway management, and the role of pharmacology in resuscitation
Use of an algorithmic approach to management of cardiac arrest will be stressed. The course is run to New Zealand Resuscitation Council Level 5 guidelines to meet the MOPS requirements of the RNZCGP. Practical skills will be assessed during the course and there will be two written tests. One will be recognition of shockable rhythms and one will be a multi-choice test based on the course’s content.
The recommended text for this course is the New Zealand Resuscitation Council’s Basic Resuscitation for Health Professionals(2007) or Advanced Resuscitation for Health Professionals- Level 7(2007). These are available from www.nzrc.org.nz and are a great resource for a practice to have.
To gain Level 7 Recertification you are required to do a further 4 hour practical session and pass the University of Auckland ACLS Recertification test. There will be two special courses offered at the Advanced Clinical Skills Centre to participants on this course. Please refer to our website http://www.fmhs.auckland.ac.nz/som/acsc after the Symposium.
