It's that time of year again, where we get new colleagues in the Emergency Department (and across lots of other areas of the hospital too).
These are some of the top tips for new starters (and life in the ED in general) gathered from the senior medical and nursing team at Virchester (South).

Oh. And one tip we left out - always wear sunscreen.

Sunday Dec 16, 2018
This podcast was recorded at the Intensive Care Society State of the Art meeting in London 2018. Simon Carley interviews Prof Peter Brindley on the interface of technology, humans and humanity in critical care. The audio was recorded live and at the venue so there is a fair bit of background noise, but we hope that this does not distract from a wide ranging and fascinating podcast.

Ep 173 - The St Emlyn's Lesson Plans
Thursday Jun 25, 2020
Thursday Jun 25, 2020
We are delighted to introduce you to the "St Emlyn's Lesson Plans", which we hope will help structure some of your education sessions over coming months (and years).
Each lesson plan starts with a descrete learning outcome, to set the scene, as well as details of the RCEM curriculum item(s) that will be covered.
The first tasks are aimed at aquiring some background knowledge and can either be done as part of the session, or beforehand. These utilise the vast "FOAMed" resources (including, but not exclusively, those of St Emlyn's).
Our experience is that time constraints often mean that "background reading" isn't achieved before the session, so would encourage allowing time within it to complete these. They are designed to take about 30 minutes and occupy the first half of the session.
Everything you need for each lesson is included in the plan. We would recommend that each learner has an internet enabled device available (with headphones) to read and listen to the background material at their own pace.
The second half of the session should be facilitated by an expert. This can happen in person, but also online, via any of the interfaces that are now so familiar.
In many plans we have given some case examples, but it would be even better if learners can bring cases of their own for discussion. This element is very much within the control of the facilitator (who should been fully cogniscent of the contents of the knowledge section).
The session finishes off with a summary, this should emphasise again the most important learning points. To really embed the knowledge and skills the particiapants should be encouraged to reflect on what they have learned, and to even talk to thse who were unable to attend about what they missed.
For learners this also gives an opportunity to easily link teaching sessions to their portfolio.
You may want to record the "face-to-face" elements, so that those who were not present are able to access them when they can (and those that did can rewatch to refresh their learning).
Although these plans are designed for delivery in a single centre, there is absolutely no reason why regional (or even national) teaching could take place in this way. The recent COVID19 Journal Clubs have demonstrated beautifully how a group of learners can engage with an online panel.
We would be very happy to receive lessons plans to add to the collection. This is very much a collaborative effort.
Please let us know what you think of these lesson plans and if you are using them in your Department. We'd love to hear your ideas about how we can take medical education forward.

Ep 219 - Blast Injuries with Chris Hillman at the PREMIER Conference
Saturday Jun 17, 2023
Saturday Jun 17, 2023
Chris brought us his reflections amnd knowledge from some of his extensive experience as a military EM consultant in two wars. Blast injury could be blunt, penetrating, may involve major haemorrhage: you have to expect any injury possible. It’s worldwide and it’s getting more common.
Blast injury affects every body cavity, but it is the CABC approach that matters, Doing the basics well is still the key. Bleeding points may not be obvious so apply tourniquets wherever stops the bleeding.
Often patients will not arrive in ones or twos but as a whole group affected by an incident, so it is vital we are prepared. The Paediatric Blast Injury Field Manual is a free resource available to download here and is highly recommended.
Chris Hillman is a Consultant in Emergency Medicine and Paediatric Emergency Medicine, working in Southampton. Serving in the Royal Navy since university, he has deployed on Ships, Submarines and with Commando units globally, and with the Army to Afghanistan and Iraq. He is the outgoing Consultant Advisor in Emergency Medicine and Clinical Director Commando Forward Surgical Group.
