Paediatric Abdo emergencies
Abdominal pain in children is common — but serious surgical pathology is often difficult to identify early. This session focuses on high-risk and easily missed conditions including appendicitis, intussusception, malrotation and testicular torsion. Learn how presentations differ from adults, when to be concerned despite a reassuring exam, and how to make safe referral decisions in urgent care.
The subtly unwell patient
Some of the sickest patients don’t look it. This session focuses on early, atypical presentations of serious illness — including sepsis, PE and cardiac disease — where observations may be normal. Develop your clinical intuition and avoid dangerous reassurance.
Management of back pain
Case-based session on non-traumatic back pain in urgent care. Covers high-risk causes such as gynecologic, abdominal, and surgical conditions, with practical approaches for safe evaluation and decision-making.
high risk dermatology
When skin presentations are more than skin deep. This session focuses on serious and easily missed conditions — from necrotising infections to inflammatory and drug-related pathology — with an emphasis on recognition and escalation.
women’s health
A practical, case-based session covering high-risk presentations beyond the obvious — including ovarian torsion, early pregnancy complications and diagnostic overlap with surgical pathology. Focus on safe decision-making in uncertain cases.

Wound closure
This session moves beyond technique to focus on clinical judgement. Learn how to manage high-risk wounds, avoid infection, and make safer decisions about closure, referral and follow-up.
eye trauma
A practical, risk-focused session designed for clinicians managing eye injuries without specialist support. Learn how to identify subtle but serious injuries and make safe referral decisions.
back injuries
Case-based session on traumatic back injuries in urgent care. Covers identification of serious spinal and associated injuries, red flags, and practical strategies for safe evaluation and management.
paediatric trauma
Children don’t present like adults. This session explores subtle presentations, evolving pathology and safeguarding considerations — with a focus on safe decision-making rather than diagnosis alone.
soft tissue injuries
Focuses on commonly missed tendon, muscle and compartment injuries. Learn how to assess properly, identify red flags and avoid inappropriate reassurance.
