PLEASE go to www.life-saver.org.uk to see the fantastic job this podcasts interviewee has done of making the teaching of basic life support so much easier. I was blown away when I came across it, even as an experienced ALS team member. It sucks you in and gets you involved. To the novice it is a wonderful learning resource, to the experienced it is great revision. Martin Percy was the director and we talk about some of the barriers he came up against when raising the funding and one or two great stories that came about. One of those stories gives this episode its title! #FOAMedThe results of the PROMISE trial are out and rather than redo what everyone else has already done I will just point you in the direction of my colleague Simon Laing (@laing_simon) who has summarised it nicely on the HEFTEMCAST podcast. I will also quote from Steve Mathieu (@stevermathieu75) on The Bottom Line:
A point I seem to remember making on a podcast with the ARISE trial authors some months ago. The guys over at FOAMCast have just released a podcast that tries to explain some of the confusing research terms. If you are like me, then any research term can become confusing. This is a good episode and I am hoping that they will add more in the future. Antibiotic sensitivity spectra is the focus of a tweet by Pietro Isotti, (@pietroisotti) a nursing student in Italy. This is a nice PDF of the range of sensitivities and the antibiotics used. |

This podcast is a discussion with one of the main organisers of the SMACC event later this year, Oli Flower (@OliFlower). The conference is looming fast, in June of this year in Chicago. We discuss the past conferences and the ethos behind them and the upcoming one. Oli is also involved with the Intensive Care Network website. There is also a mention of two other podcasts in the episode, Jesse's (@Inject_orange) Injectable Orange podcast and Brians (@erNURSEpro) ER Nurse Pro podcast. Both excellent giving some different perspectives. |
