One Brain - Neuro simulator @ £25

One Brain is a new simulation based training module developed by the Bristol team. It helps prepare trainees for their final FRCA exam and for the complexities of Neuro-anaesthesia and transfer of a head injured patient. You will work through “The Patient Journey”, an extended scenario involving multiple candidates managing a polytrauma patient. You will assess, stabilise and resuscitate the patient before transferring them to a neurosurgical centre where you will hand over to other candidates, who will manage the patient in the operating theatre. This extended scenario covers the key components of the initial management of the head injured patient, and neuroanaesthesia. The workshop is mapped to the curriculum, and also allows the candidates to demonstrate leadership and communication skills whilst managing a complicated patient.

A small group teaching opportunity with a highly experienced faculty. Stations will cover fibreoptic intubation, cricothyrotomy, video laryngoscopes, and case based scenarios to test your problem solving and skills. This workshop is targeted at basic and intermediate level trainees but is good revision for all grades.

This is the first echo workshop to be run at the GAT ASM, and will demonstrate how trans thoracic echocardiography skills can be integrated into the portfolio of modern critical care physicians. The Oxford Critical Care Echo Fellowship Programme will provide a workshop based around the recently introduced FICE qualification produced by collaboration of the Intensive Care Society with the British Society of Echocardiography. Using a series of workstations with models, candidates will be able to attempt real time scanning with one to one tuition coupled with focused lectures highlighting the use of echo in ICU. Topics include assessment of circulatory volume status, aetiology of shock and thoracic fluid collections.

This workshop will offer assistance to research-active (or research-interested) trainees who are looking for external reviews of their ideas, assistance with ethics applications, assistance with grant applications, or sourcing formal external academic supervision or appraisal.

There will be a series of 10 minute slots available. To book your 10 minute slot please email rachaelward@aagbi.org with your preferred times. Please specify if your research is clinical or non-clinical when applying.

GAT are offering conference participants a one hour mentoring session with one of a team of highly trained and experienced mentors, all of whom use mentoring for themselves. The mentors are senior anaesthetists who have, between them held posts of Royal College Tutor, Deputy or Regional Adviser, and AAGBI Council members. Mentoring conversations are confidential.

Sessions will be most useful to conference participants who:

• Are strategic about their own development
• Want to discuss a potential opportunity or a dilemma
• Have specific educational or work needs
• Are at a cross road in their career - Career/life planning

Please click here for more information.

These sessions cannot be booked online, if you would like to book a place please email with a prefered time and date meetings@aagbi.org

The workshop is aimed at people who have either already been involved in a buddying or mentorship programme within anaesthesia training, or who are interested in setting one up in their School. The first half of the workshop would be an opportunity to share experiences and the second half would be a chance to hear about some successful schemes that are already up and running. There will be 20 places available for the workshop. To book a place please contact meetings@aagbi.org
