What a fantastic three days of evidence-based, scenario-led trauma training at ETM Course Perth held at CTEC this week!

A huge thank you to every participant who joined us. Your energy, curiosity and commitment made it a pleasure to spend three days together.

And thank you also to our wonderful faculty, including Course Director Steph Schlueter and Course Coordinator Sheryl Jonescu.

In the words of some of our participants:

"Beautifully designed and expertly delivered course, I am much more confident and capable after having taken part."

"Excellent course, supportive faculty, well structured and content that built in complexity over the days. Very enjoyable and have learnt a huge amount."

"Perfectly structured 3-day course. Keep up the amazing teamwork and incredibly well-orchestrated course schedule."

ETM Course Adelaide is coming up!

17 - 19 October at the Education Development Centre, Hindmarsh - three days of hands-on trauma training directed by A/Prof Tim Leeuwenburg, Rural Generalist on Kangaroo Island.

Already booked for RMA26? Even better. The course wraps on the 19th, the conference opens on the 21st in the same city - so one trip covers both. Tim's presenting at RMA26 too, and the ETM team will be there, so be sure to come and say hello.

One week on from PTM Course Melbourne (7–9 September), we're reflecting on three fantastic days of learning.

It was a privilege to bring together specialists from across Australia and New Zealand with one common goal: strengthening our approach to paediatric trauma care. Thank you to every participant, and to our outstanding faculty, including Coordinator Helen Jowett.

Some direct quotes from participants:

“Overall a very well run course and excellent faculty. I learned so much and really enjoyed the opportunity to practise team leading complex resuscitations.”

“Great faculty, really engaging sessions, useful repetition of key messages / mantras. Plenty of opportunity to practice / team lead."

Missed out? A handful of places remain on our next PTM Course in Melbourne, 4–6 November. Book at etmcourse.com

Was such a privilege to host Scott Tannenbaum & Becky Beard for drinks & dinner in Melbourne on their whirlwind Australian trip. Scott's work with Eduardo Salas on flash & dynamic teams formed the cornerstone of the Resus Room Management princinples taught on Emergency Trauma Management's ETM Course, which have over the last decade become the standard for composition & function of ED trauma/resus teams around Australasia and beyond. Also thanks to Emma West & (and entourage!) for joining us & making this a truly memorable evening & a real highlight of our year!
If you want to hear more about Scott's work & how it pertains to ED/Trauma resus teams, check out the podcast I did with him earlier this year:
