RCEM Annual Virtual Conference : My experience

Hello people 

I have been attending these conferences very mindfully. I would want to discuss this one as I think would be useful to other emergency physicians looking to update themselves with advancement and emergency departments. We work as teams in emergency department. The teams grow by lifting each other. So here is the first step. 

Today, will be discussing the Royal College of Emergency medicines annual scientific conference 2021.

What was it ? 
Annual scientific conference for an emergency medicine by Royal College of Emergency medicine .

This was scheduled between 5-7th October 2021.
How do you get there? 
1)You'll buy tickets from the website

How much do I pay?
you pay them but there are good discounts ,if you're a  student / consultant or if you belong to low or middle income countries.
They also have scholarships for annual scientific conference the scholarships gives you free access to the conference and free entry into one of the pre-conference workshop.

How to get the scholarship ?
A notice released for about 2-3 months prior to the conference so you leave a email why you would want the scholarship and wait. Follow Rcemevents for updates.

My experience
Workshop :
I had chosen pre hospital emergency medicine as my workshop. The workshop was fun. That happens to be my speciality of interest. There were very sensitive issues and the best part where the debate where physicians of different opinions were putting across their points in a very professional manner. Very informative and through light or pros and cons of any side we take in a pre-hospital care setup. The studies they have done in free hospital emergency medicine were also amazing. especially the one that had free role of free hospital ultrasound.
Limitation of it being very few a hospitals in India have ACLS equipped ambulance, HEMS in infancy, that has really good stuff or a physician handling pre hospital care scenarios so them handling blood products them doing ultrasound here is a far-fetched dream probably it would take about 5 years for us to be there
otherwise my favorite part were the debates. Handsdown speakers! It's always good to learn development and apply as per our local norms.


The best and the worst part
There's no worst part.
The best part is that you get to see the presentation from across the world online like without paying for your tickets... Haha! Saves pocket crunch.

Posters 
I'm going to the day one two three there were certain selected posters and presentations. 
I'd like to share two studies with you credit I can only tell you briefly about it because I have not taken the rights from the respective owners and I came to share about it .

There were amazing papers on pediatric emergency medicine and various aspects of emergency medicine but my favorite and more applicable are relatable research papers were the ones below. That is that could be applicable in adult emergency department in India.

The hot debrief study was by Shobha James , Prakash Subedi
I found the studies so good that I had about an hour long discussion with my ED team about it in our weekly meet today itself!
The content is available for about a year that you can review. They are amazing studies to get inspired from . The research we have going on in emergency is is diverse than the research going on in sub-Saharan continent that happens to have a low to middle income countries like us . We are somewhere in between them and the UK. So things are pretty different but it's always good to learn from people of different perspectives and to have more open-mindedness.

How are you keeping yourself updated about the progress in your specialty? drop down the comments.
So far so much

Experience Based Co Design : BCT Series XXIX

  "Experience-Based Co-Design" we have all witnessed its essence unknowingly . My family home is the example I can reflect on .Growing up I didn't like how my house was designed. We (the whole extended family) wanted my dad to sell the house . Dad let his architect friend design our house and would not sell his house (for obvious reasons!). Mum had to balance out the situation so she decided to make small changes. So, it was one change idea each year .She would talk to us individually and listen to our perspective and review her sphere of influence and the impact /utility the idea had.For my siblings the colors were not welcoming while I pointed the flooring. Mum wanted the stairs to be personalised. My grandparents wanted certain conveniences around the toilets. It took her about 4-5 years to make the house a home that was acceptable . From color preferences to spatial arrangements, each family member contributed insights. The lovely thing about it was , the keystakehold...

" Consulting a psychiatrist would be a question mark on my spirituality " Said the patient.

Hello everybody  I hope everybody is safe and healthy. it's been a while that I've been receiving lot of patients in the emergency with mental illness ,thought of sharing an incident of its kind. Not sure if its the awareness of mental health these days or the pandemic, I am developing keen interest in patients with mental illness .I try to take an extra effort to make them feel comfortable and try to create an insight of what is happening and offer them options of what all can be done.  Since this it seems like a step towards patient care , I thought I'd share it here as well. This would probably not be the best approach but I welcome any type of constructive criticism , additions or subtraction to my approach because end of the day we are here for best patient care. A 50 years plus old gentleman ,presented to the emergency with the complaints of chest pain radiating to left arm , breathing difficulty, choking sensation in the throat, inability to open his ey...

MRCEM OSCE preparation and resources

Hello people Since I have cleared my OSCE in one go, I feel it's my duty to journal what all I have done to make it work.(humble brag).Thanks to ChatGPT for helping me pile up some humble generic sentence to make this blog wholesome.(Just kidding). The MRCEM OSCE exam is an integral part of the qualification which tests the clinical and communication skills of candidates. For Indian students pursuing this qualification, preparing for the MRCEM OSCE exam may seem daunting. However, with a few tips that helped me sail through fine. The thing that helped me the most is acclimatizing myself to the UK Clinical Setting Before appearing for the MRCEM OSCE exam, it is imperative for Indian students to understand the clinical setting in the UK. Sometimes , all they want to see is how you behave , your body language, your tone , and your organising skills. Diagnosis is not a critical thing here. You will not fail if you get a wrong diagnosis provided that you have done it systematically. So ...
