Free JRCALC/AACE Accredited CPD for Adrenal Crisis
Hey all! I am a paramedic with Addison's Disease and I have been working with the ADSHG to further education on treating adrenal crisis in the pre-hospital environment.
Though Addison's Disease is rare, other types of adrenal insufficiency are more common, and thus adrenal crisis may be a more likely diagnosis for your patient than you first believed! As such, it is important for us (as clinicians) to understand the signs and symptoms and the appropriate treatment plan for these patients.
The ADSHG run pre-hospital focused sessions on treating adrenal crisis, which are available for ANY pre-hospital emergency clinicians across the UK! This includes student paramedics, technicians, paramedics, CCPs, etc as well as tutors/lecturers.
There are 3 more sessions booked for this year:
June 23rd
September 9th
November 19th
All sessions are free, JRCALC/AACE accredited, online (via Zoom), and a certificate will be sent upon completion.
The sessions are presented by Philippa, the ADSHG's Communication and Health Liason Manager, alongside me (Lottie), Paramedic and ADSHG volunteer, and Alison, ADSHG Enquiries and Conferences Volunteer. All three of us have Addison's Disease personally and have our own individual experiences with adrenal crisis.
Questions are accepted throughout in the Q&A chat at the bottom of the screen, and that's where you will find me answering them all! There are no stupid questions, and every session opens new discussions to further knowledge on adrenal crisis.
I have linked the ADSHG page to sign up for your desired session. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away below!
