Coronavirus (COVID-19): Essential knowledge for surgeons undertaking acute medical care
24th March 2020
Overview
This webinar will focus on 'What a Surgeon needs to know’ when presented with an acutely ill patient, so that they will be able to act effectively and efficiently. It will cover a ‘step by step’ approach to diagnosis and outline relevant investigations. In addition it will explain the therapies appropriate to those with low grade infections and also for the critically ill, outlining appropriate intensive care management. The ultimate aim will be to leave surgeons, operating outside their usual remit, with a safe and effective clinical practice.
