The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Advanced Life Support Level 2 (ALS2)course focuses on developing skills, knowledge and confidence in managing medical emergencies, including cardiac arrest.This course is designed for healthcare professionals who would be expected to apply these skills as part of their day-to-day clinical duties. The course is recommended for participants such as doctors, and nurses who are working in critical care areas (e.g. ED, CCU, ICU, HDU, acute admissions units) or in the resuscitation /medical emergency team, and ambulance paramedics. ARC ALS2 Courses provide the opportunity for interprofessional education to promote the knowledge, skills, and attributes in order to work together in an effective collaborative fashion.

Treatment with direct acting antivirals is easier than ever. Increasing HCV treatment in primary care is crucial to achieving HCV elimination in Australia by 2030. All GPs, other medical practitioners and Nurse Practitioners can prescribe direct acting antiviral therapy on the General Schedule. This free course provides practitioners in primary and related care settings with an overview of hepatitis C management, including theimpact of hepatitis C-related stigma and discrimination, case finding, testingand diagnosis, assessment, treatment and monitoring. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;

The Hepatitis B in Primary Care webinar provide GPs with an opportunity to update their clinical knowledge and improve confidence in hepatitis B screening, diagnosis and initial management, and is therefore an to support progress towards Australia’s National targets of increasing diagnosis and engagement in care. In addition to updating the knowledge of GPs who have little experience with hepatitis B, the webinar is also accessible to hepatitis B accredited prescribers who may require a refresher of knowledge. A high proportion of accredited prescribers have reported experiencing low caseloads of patients with CHB which acts as a major barrier to them maintaining the knowledge, skills and confidence in this area. An experienced specialist will walk learners through a basic case study that they might encounter in general practice, from identifying priority populations and testing to management, treatment options and monitoring for hepatocellular carcinoma. This activity is designed to increase general practitioners' awareness and understanding of hepatitis B (HBV), including its link with liver cancer. HBV is the most attributable cause of liver cancer, which itself is the fastest increasing fatal cancer in Australia. Topics covered include epidemiology, transmission, testing, monitoring, and management. The course is presented by a local liver specialist to strengthen referral pathways and GP-specialist relationships.

Psychedelic-assisted therapies (PAT) are delivered by treatment teams with three main roles: prescriber, primary therapist and secondary therapist. This course has been developed to address the training needs for the three roles, recognising the desirability of members of PAT teams to understand the entire PAT treatment process and the roles each assumes. The Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy course provides appropriately qualified and experienced healthcare professionals with the necessary capabilities, knowledge and skills to safely and successfully facilitate PAT in a clinical environment, in accordance with their role as prescriber, or primary or secondary therapist. Prescribers: For those who have the necessary qualifications to prescribe psychedelic medicines, this course will equip them with the knowledge and skills to create and document a PAT treatment protocol, and safely prescribe specific psychedelic medicines for specific mental health conditions. Therapists: The course will prepare appropriately qualified and experienced healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to safely and effectively support patients undergoing PAT as primary or secondary therapists. Note that the ability to practice as a primary therapist in PAT is also dependent on prior relevant clinical experience in psychotherapy. @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-469750017 -1073732485 9 0 511 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; line-height:107%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}p.m-6852260484665480358xmsonormal, li.m-6852260484665480358xmsonormal, div.m-6852260484665480358xmsonormal {mso-style-name:m_-6852260484665480358xmsonormal; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-margin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0cm; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-size:11.0pt; mso-ansi-font-size:11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-font-kerning:0pt; mso-ligatures:none; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:8.0pt; line-height:107%;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}

ETM is 3-day medical short course (similar to APLS, EMST) that covers the reception and resuscitation of adult major trauma patients. The course involves short, focused lectures, hands on practical skill training, small group interactive sessions and simulation/scenarios. There is an interactive, case based "ask the expert" session with a local trauma expert, which varies from course to course.Assessment is summative in the form of a pre and post course MCQ, and two OSCE style skill stations, as well as formative, with debriefing and feedback given after each scenario, and during the small group interactive sessions and procedure workshops.Participants in the ANZCA and FPM CPD program may claim ETM Course as a Major Haemorrhage Emergency Response Activity in their CPD portfolio.

This education aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current evidence-based approaches to the treatment of febrile seizures. Drawing upon recent literature and clinical guidelines, key aspects such as the management of acute seizures, prevention of recurrence, and appropriate use of antipyretic and antiepileptic medications are discussed. The role of caregiver education, reassurance, and follow-up care in the management of febrile seizures is emphasized. By integrating evidence-based strategies with practical clinical insights, this article aims to empower healthcare providers with the knowledge and confidence to effectively manage febrile seizures in paediatric patients, ultimately optimising patient outcomes and reducing caregiver anxiety.
