Session 1:
‘What are you currently doing and how to make quick wins’ is the first session of the day. It may surprise you how much you can improve your CPR with this.
Often the smallest tweak or addition can have a significant impact on the way we work, CPR is no different. During this session we will walk through an audit of the current set up.
Using the included paperwork in your resource pack we will critically analyse what you are currently doing in practice.
Changes could include the addition of equipment, changes to ways of working or simply adding a resource. How to deliver those changes to the rest of team is also important and we will look at how best to do this
Session 2:
‘That Saturday morning crash’
We’ve all been there! It’s just you, a vet and a support team member.
What do you do?
What tasks do you prioritise and who can do what?
This session will discuss how to deal with that Saturday morning Crash and what steps we can take to allow us to do the best we can in those situations.
Exploring how we also cope with the feelings we are left with after an event like this
Session 3- information to follow- guest speaker
Session 4:
‘Supporting Documents and how to use them’
A crash is not an exam and nor is it a memory test. There is no shame in using documents and resources to guide and support you during a highly stressful situation that hopefully rarely occurs. Throughout the session the use and creation of these documents will be discussed and some lateral thinking will be encouraged. What are the barriers to using these tools? How do make them relevant to our practice? This and more will be analysed leaving you feeling more equipped to deal with a CPA under anaesthesia.
Practical Workshop
The highlight of the day, a 90 minute session to perfect your BLS skills! In small groups with plenty of hands on practical to allow you to develop those practical skills, create long term memories and provide you the chance to practice in a supportive environment. The day is capped at 20 attendees to allow maximum participation and guidance.
