Page 7 of 32 Pre-requisites for ED Registrars at Orange Health Service: An interesting case mix coupled with guidance from the friendly FACEMs provides ample learning opportunities for ED registrars rotating through Orange Health Service.

Knowledge and experience in Advanced Life Support (a brief review session on the topic will be done by the Intensivist as part of orientation package) 2. Theoretical and practical knowledge in Emergency Medicine at level of PGY3 or above 3. Clinical and people skills to deliver supervised and semi-independent medical care to patients 4. Ability to prioritize work 5. Leadership qualities to organize and supervise residents, interns and medical students in providing effective patient care 6. Ability to participate in team work and excel in communication – ability to liaise with ED consultants, other consultants, general practitioners and doctors in other hospitals to provide optimal patient care 7. Insight into environmental and individual limitations with keen ability to source resources to achieve optimal patient care 8. Enthusiasm to learn Emergency Medicine 9. Knowledge and readiness to teach medical students, interns and RMOs 10.Professional pleasant attitude and committed work ethics. Page 8 of 32 Role of ED Registrar · Responsible for initial assessment of patients presenting to ED · Establishing initial management plan and clear documentation of clinical notes on eMR/firstnet · Referral to the relevant admitting team and documentation of time of referral · Taking responsibility for the ongoing management of the patient whilst they are in the Emergency Department · Following up investigation results and ensure that admitted patient’s clinical condition and planning of further investigations or therapy (e.g. IV fluid, analgesia, DVT prophylaxis) are satisfactory when transferred to ward · Taking the team lead role (if necessary) or being a part of trauma and resuscitation teams · Taking an active role in managing critically ill patients in ED in close liaison with the intensive care team · Assisting ED consultant in managing the department and facilitating good team work · Taking the role of “ED senior-in-charge” in managing the department and taking referrals when there is no FACEM on duty · Maintaining and improving your knowledge and skills through attending and contributing to formal education and handover sessions · Actively participate in the teaching and supervision of JMOs and medical students Page 9 of 32 OHS Rapid Response Calls (Medical Emergency Team) The emergency department is not primarily involved in Rapid Response calls. If there are 2 medical emergencies at the same time, then the Emergency Department will be responsible for attending the 2nd medical emergency. The emergency department rapid response team should consist of a senior emergency doctor and nurse. They should take the resuscitation pack with them which consists of airway / breathing and circulation equipment and resuscitation drugs. To make a Rapid Response Call dial # 888 Trauma Calls Trauma calls will be initiated according to the established “Trauma Call Criteria” in ED, which can be ‘Adult Trauma Call’ or ‘Paediatric Trauma Call’. The aim of trauma calls is to provide critical care interventions to acutely injured patients caused by major trauma. This can only be achieved by all members working as a cohesive multidisciplinary ‘trauma team’. An ED senior will be the designated ‘team leader’ responsible for coordinating the patient’s care and monitoring progress. He/she should assign every individual team member to a different role with specific tasks. (Please refer to the chart of ‘trauma team members: roles & responsibility) ED registrars are encouraged to participate as the team leader when necessary or as a team member in managing major trauma patients. This will be beneficial for developing clinical/ resuscitative skills in any specific trauma team role and skills of team work. Page 10 of 32 Clinical Business Rules - Orange Base Hospital Admission Acceptance PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION OF PATIENTS General – “one way referral”. After ED assessment, discussion with ED consultants and formulating a management plan for a patient who requires admission, the decision should be determined as to which specialty is the most appropriate for this patient to be admitted under. Once ED referral for admission is made to a specialist team, it will be the specialist team who decides one of these three paths: 1) admit; 2) discharge; 3) refer to a second specialist team if it is decided that the admission under the first specialist team is not appropriate. GWAHS Responsibility of the ED doctor who has made the referral to the admitting team: Jul 18, '13, 12:17 PM Added: Space • Document clearly the time and the member of the admitting team whom the patient was referred to. GWAHS Jul 18, '13, 12:19 PM Added Text • Outline clearly the ED management plan for the patient. Ensure the planned investigations have been in progress and ED-initiated treatment/therapy has been charted and carried out. Patient’s GWAHS Jul 18, '13, 12:20 PM appropriate regular medications should be documented/charted. Added Text GWAHS Jul 18, '13, 12:16 PM • Ensure the patient’s clinical condition continues to be satisfactory. Detect and manage any Added: Paragraph Break deterioration promptly while the patient is still in ED. • If there is undue delay in review for admission by the admitting team, a stable patient should be admitted to the ward directly after completing the ‘medical checklist for ward transfer’ (see appendix) and informing the admitting team.

    SWAN 24 TRAUMA CONFERENCE 29 – 30 JULY 2016 SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM 0 Dear Colleagues, It is with very great pleasure that we once again welcome you to the 24th SWAN Trauma Conference. With another world renowned international faculty from Norway, Canada, Colombia, Estonia and New Zealand and our own national experts in trauma care, this conference promises to be a superb mix of lectures, great debates, interactive case scenarios, key note speeches and Q and A sessions. Our regular SWAN delegates will see that we have undergone some changes in particular with the program and website. This year we have expanded the program with multiple concurrent sessions which gives you the chance to pick and choose what particularly interests you or you may have expertise in. Of course there will still be the major plenary sessions for all to attend and we have brought back our free paper session for all to have a chance at presenting their work and research. This year we will examine quality in trauma care as well as have heated discussions on the controversies and complexities of trauma diagnosis and management including the problems of managing the extremes of age. Our very popular annual great debate will again entertain and provoke and our real life case scenarios will continue to generate great dispute, deliberation and discourse. We will move from the resuscitation room to the intensive care unit and finally to the operating room discussing various demanding aspects of caring for the multiply injured patient. We will also have a session that moves us away from Level one centre care to the rural setting which presents its own enormous challenges.
