This is the last CGD for the registrars who have been in a six month post since April. We’re grateful for their hard work and enthusiasm, and wish them success in their future endeavours.

Dr Malcolm Russell, a HEMS specialist from the UK, will be giving a talk at the Bankstown base on 15th November. He has been involved in military pre-hospital care with the British Army and is now the director of a civilian air ambulance service. He is the managing director of a company called Prometheus Medical Ltd which supplies equipment and training to military and civilian services.

We have invited Dr Russell to give a summary and demonstration of the latest haemorrhage control products. Knowing him, there will no doubt be a number of other show-and-tell goodies to accompany some of his fascinating case presentations.

Contact mailto:mmahadev@ambulance.nsw.gov.au if you are planning to come so your place and lunch can be reserved.

The session will run from 1200-1400 hrs on Tuesday 15th November 2011

The CGD on 14th September 2011 is dedicated to paediatric retrieval

Here’s a message from Karim Brohi, leading UK trauma surgeon, about a new opportunity in trauma-related postgraduate education:

TRAUMA.ORG is very pleased to announce two exciting and innovative new
Masters programmes in Trauma Sciences. In conjunction with Barts and the
London School of Medicine at Queen Mary University of London and the Royal
College of Surgeons of England, these programmes will be delivered in a
modern e-learning environment as part-time distance-learning courses over
two years. The course is tailored to the needs of international graduates
from all healthcare and health sciences backgrounds.

We are building these courses to provide high-quality learning no matter
where you are in the world, and to develop the leaders of the future in the
science and practice of trauma.
