We’re still buzzing after this year’s ASPiH conference in Bournemouth! 💥 So much learned & amazing networking! 🎉

Huge shoutout to Dr Alex Parker & Dr. Sunny Jutla for showcasing the incredible UHL sim work! 👏 Our UHL sim lead Gerard Delasalas was missed, but we can’t wait until next year!

🚀 Watch this space – EM3 is ready to take simulation to the next level with transformational scenarios! 🙌

We’ve just delivered our first local Emergency Department Procedural Sedation Course for EM registrars! 🏥

The session covered the theoretical underpinnings of safe sedation practice and included a deeper dive into our local SOP. Participants then took part in two simulation scenarios — where sedation became, let’s say, a little more interesting — followed by rich debrief discussions on team situational awareness, leadership, and clinical decision-making. 🤔 💭

Moving forward, we’ll be running more courses to include additional senior registrars (SpRs), with a view to incorporating this into our local sign-off process, complete with simulation-based assessments and drills. 🚨

Watch this space for upcoming course dates!

Today, Dr Grace Amaefule-Orie (EM SpR) presented at the UHL Grand Round: “Chest Pain in ED… Beyond the ECG.” 🫀

The case discussed a complex case of a patient presenting with chest pain and neurological deficit. The case involved discussion of acute aortic syndromes and spinal cord ischaemia.

The session offered a great platform for discussion surrounding the affect of human factors in clinical outcomes, and a recap of the acute aortic syndrome pathways used across UHL. 🚨

NAI LIGHTNING LEARNING ⚡️🧠

Non-accidental injury (NAI) is an important consideration in paediatric patients presenting with inconsistent explanations for injury. 🤕

It is the responsibility of all NHS staff to safeguard children - if you suspect NAI, escalate your concerns to the most senior staff member in your area. 🚨

Lymphoedema can cause severe swelling with skin blistering, ulceration and overlying cellulitis. These skin changes pre-dispose the patient to overwhelming infection. 😷🤒

If identified early, simple measures such as leg elevation, analgesia, and compression stockings can be used to prevent deterioration. ‼️

TEACHING IN TEN - ACUTE ASTHMA

Acute asthma is the sudden and severe worsening of asthma symptoms, which can cause rapid deterioration and death if not treated promptly. 🫁😮‍💨

This Teaching in Ten covers how to identify and classify acute asthma, the treatment of acute exacerbations, and introduces you to the long term management options.

The EM3 team presented at this years UHL ACP conference, at Winstanley House!

The day was an annual conference, giving opportunity for all of UHL’s fantastic ACPs to get together and share learning. The day was about celebrating their success, and the growth and future of ACPs at UHL! 🌱🏥

Dr Sunny Jutla, EM3 Lead and Consultant of Emergency Medicine at UHL, gave a presentation focusing the use of simulation in emergency medicine education. 📚

Lightning Learning ⚡️

Have a patient presenting with a red, hot and swollen joint that is painful? 😖 Always remember to consider septic arthritis as a differential! 🚨

Remember - in order to cultures to give accurate sensitivities, they should be taken BEFORE empirical antibiotic treatment. 💊

15/10/2025

NEW Lightning Learning ⚡️

Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the potentially severe infective consolidation of the lung parenchyma, with the potential to cause sepsis. 🫁

The CURB-65 can be used to help you risk stratify patients and guide decisions on treatment. 💊🩻

REMEMBER - if taking samples for cultures and sensitivities, this should be done BEFORE giving antibiotics provided it doesn’t delay treatment. 🚨

Education Wednesday

This Wednesday, we kicked off our weekly simulations with the paediatric EM team. They simulated a scenario of a 2 year old presenting with reduced consciousness. On A-E assessment, they were found to be hypoglycaemic. 😥 They were also treated for sepsis.

The team remained calm under pressure and worked well together to navigate this scenario to recognise, stabilise and treat this patient. ✅

The debrief afterwards gave great opportunity for reflection and discussion around key learning points. 🧠

REMEMBER - we run departmental simulations every Wednesday morning, which can be booked via our website!
