FAQ’s
All healthcare professionals who manage critically ill patients with neurological emergencies.
Some aspects will have more relevance to some specialties compared to others, for example the emergency management sections may be of more interest to Emergency Medicine and Pre-Hospital providers, where as the Intensive Care sections may appeal to Intensive Care Medicine providers more. Some topics such as TBI, and aSAH are very relevant to Neurosurgical trainees and specialists, whereas others will be more for Neurologists e.g. stroke / ECR and seizures.
It’s pitched in a way that should have some relevant material for students, trainees and specialists, but the intention throughout has been to always keep it practical and clinically relevant.

NeuroResus is suitable for all critical care trainees, specialists and nurses who want to take their neuro resuscitation skills to the next level.
We cover neuro emergencies from initial presentation, emergency management through to the intensive care management, discussing what affects patient centred outcomes along the way.
Topics include traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage, status epilepticus, resuscitation after cardiac arrest, CNS infections, acute spinal cord injury, stroke and ECR, coma and neuropalliative care including organ donation.
We will focus on practical knowledge as well as some non-technical skills with a mix of interactive lectures, case discussions and simulations.
Included in registration is a networking event on day 1.
Due to COVID, our first course is likely to be purely online. We’ve worked out a way to make this engaging and interactive.
