Emergency Life Care
Sri Lanka 2012
One of the best programs in 2012 and
the only program spanning 5 days organised by SSCCEM concluded on the 11th of
August, 2012. The event was a resounding success with great satisfaction
expressed by the Australian Emergency Physician team as well as the participating
Sri Lankan doctors.
The benefit was there to see with the
trainees who came for the program changing their format of assessing and
managing patients in the Emergency Room overnight.
The program had two workshops (each one
for two days) with the first one catering for the PG trained or currently in
training doctors in the fields related to Emergency Medicine.
The second one catered to the medical
officers who are working in the Emergency Units around the country with little
exposure to such training. While educating the Sri Lankan doctors on handling
emergencies with many practical sessions thrown in, the Australian faculty was
looking for the suitable candidates for the Sri Lankan Trainers forum for the
future continuation of the program. SSCCEM is thankful to Prof Shane Curran and
the team for selecting ten Sri Lankan trainers for the program.
ELC Sri Lanka Course Dinner
The course dinner was held on the 8th
of August 2012 in Hotel Thilanka, Kandy with the trainers and trainees getting
to know each other and exchanging views on how the program is run.
Finale of the ELC Sri Lanka was the
symposium on Emergency Medicine which was held in the Auditorium, Neurotrauma
Unit of NHSL. It was well attended and the lectures were given by Sri Lankan
and Australian experts.
