Week 1: Updates in Endocrine Emergencies, with Ludivine Boiron
Urgent, fascinating and demanding, endocrine patients are fundamental to the ECC practitioner’s caseload. This week, ECC Specialist Ludivine Boiron will provide you with the knowledge and practical guidance needed to optimise management of endocrine emergencies, including diabetic ketoacidosis, Addisonian crisis, insulinoma and a host of less common presentations.
Week 2: Rabbit emergencies: fundamentals and updates, with Jack MacHale
Rabbits do ‘emergency’ very well, but the more detailed aspects of their emergency presentations can feel unfamiliar to us in practice. Making a return to the ECC mini-modules, Jack MacHale presents a comprehensive review of managing the emergency rabbit, including the stabilisation and management of: GI stasis, liver lobe torsion, dyspnoea, uroliths, fly-strike and haemorrhagic disease.
Week 3: Updates on managing the septic patient, with Sinziana Radulescu
If you work with hospitalised patients, then being able to identify, assess and stabilise those with sepsis is a core skill. This week, ECC Specialist Sinziana Radulescu presents ‘the septic patient in ECC’, covering core principles as well as practical case management guidance for you to apply in the clinical setting.
Week 4: Gastrointestinal emergencies, with James McMurrough
The frequency with which GI cases present as emergencies means that an efficient, logical, safe approach will ensure the correct interventions are provided to each case. This week, veteran of the ECC mini-modules James McMurrough will enable you to advance your assessment, stabilisation, diagnostic approach and treatment plan for the GI emergency patient.
