Neurocritical care debate, discussion and overall goodness this month, in the form of a conference. This time at least it’s local and the St Emlyns team are off to Manchester for the 50th Annual Scientific Conference of the NeuroAnaesthesia Society of Great Britain and Ireland (NASGBI).
International Clinical Trials Day 2015 is on 20th May. To mark the occasion we’re going to run an extra special critical appraisal.
We love a bit of meta-cognition here at St.Emlyn's. As time passes and we all become a little longer in the tooth it becomes increasingly apparent that it's not just 'what' we know it's how we use it.
It's been a little quiet of late here in the lofty towers of St Emlyn's Virtual Hospital, not because the patients have stopped coming (trust me, they haven't) but because many of the clinicians have spent their non-working hours squirreled away desperately designing talks for SMACC.
Acute (and chronic) mental health issues in the ED, to me, represent one of the trickiest and perhaps most poorly dealt with presentations in Emergency Medicine. I am not claiming to have experience of all the EDs in the world, and I appreciate I am relatively junior in my career, but it is something that just doesn't sit well with me.
