Care of the Critically Ill Neurosurgical Patient 2024

The importance of managing critically ill patients in a neurosurgical unit cannot be over emphasised.

The responsibility of looking after these patients and recognising any change in their clinical state is primarily left in the hands of the junior doctors or ANPs on the wards.

This course is aimed at ANPs and junior neurosurgical trainees (FY2-ST3) who are not only involved in the care of neurosurgical patients, but at the same time, with progression in career, would be asked for advice by more junior foundation trainees or hospital nurse practitioners.

The first day of course will take place at B. Braun Medical Head Quarters in Sheffield where there will be a series of lectures from our expert faculty. This will then be followed by a day of practical workshop sessions at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.

Places are limited and will be given on a first come first serve basis therefore we advise that you book early.

AIMS
CCrINSP is a Sheffield based, two day interactive course delivered by national experts in their field and our colleagues in industry, exposing the candidates to scenario based practical skills and fundamental knowledge required for managing the critically sick neurosurgical patient.

The focus of the training is for junior doctors (FY2-ST2) interested in pursuing/recently appointed to a neurosurgical training post.

OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, the candidate should:
- Be able to identify the signs and symptoms of a deteriorating neurosurgical patient and escalate accordingly.
- Have a basic understanding of the underlying pathophysiology leading to a deteriorating neurosurgical patient.
- Be able to utilise a structured rapid assessment of the acutely ill neurosurgical patient and formulate an acute management strategy.
