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.

You know you want to come! Don’t be put off by the spelling of hors d’oeuvres. There’s more to life than that!

Next Wednesday’s Clinical Governance Day will be held at Wollongong as a combined Sydney-Wollongong event.

The theme will be Urban Search & Rescue, with a focus on the medical aspects of USAR missions and the recent deployments in New Zealand and Japan.

We are privileged to have a guest speaker from the United States, Dr David Cone. Dr Cone’s extensive CV includes being Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Public Health and EMS Section Chief at Yale University, the editor-in-chief of the journal Academic Emergency Medicine, and being a recent president of the National Association of EMS Physicians. He has served as Medical Team Manager of two urban search and rescue task forces (Pennsylvania and Connecticut). He is also a trained Emergency Medical Technician and firefighter!

Please let Madhura and Mark Newcombe know if you’re planning to attend so we can organise transport and catering.

Hopefully we’ll see you there
