Workshops – DFTB22 Refresh

Wellness, Resilience and Perfomance.

(half day - PM)

This workshop will be facilitated by the thought leaders from WRaP EM, a group of ordinary but passionate clinicians and medical educators who want to promote the concepts of Wellness, Resilience and Performance, from being considered the “soft stuff” to becoming a core part of Emergency Medicine practice. WRaP EM have created a website, blog, podcast and free open-access wellbeing curriculum aimed at promoting the wellbeing of healthcare professionals. This can be found at https://wrapem.org WRaP EM’s aim is to facilitate positive workplace change by providing a forum for connection of like-minded clinicians and by providing the tools for individuals to create meaningful change in their own workplace.

Effective Peri-procedural Communication (EPIC)

Our faculty of specialist paediatric anaesthetists will guide you through this whole day, SPANZA endorsed, workshop. EPIC’s vision is to optimise the psychological wellbeing of infants, children and young adults undergoing medical and surgical procedures.

Underlying this vision is the premise that we can have a positive impact on every child, or young person, at every health interaction. The techniques taught are simple to learn and easy to use, and can be adapted for use in all paediatric health care settings.
