Basic Invasive Medical Procedures

18.09.08

Intensive 1 day course providing hands-on training in invasive medical procedures

Basic Invasive Medical Skills Course - Hawkesbury Hospital - 4th, 5th and 6th October 2008

Changes in medical training have led to a reduction in the time available for 'hands on' training. The most notable change has been a vast decline in the opportunities available for doctors to become competent in medical interventions, such as central line and chest drain insertion. Peer reviewed studies demonstrate that structured training in medical interventions not only increases confidence but also decreases complication and infection rates. Medipeople is pleased to announce in partnership with Spiral Blue the first of its kind medical procedural course in Australia.

Spiral Blue Practical Procedures Course has been running in the United Kingdom for the past two years to rave reviews. The course consistently receives outstanding feedback from participants with a reputation for innovation and high quality tutors.
