@lotusgav No problem with this. Give the people what they want.

We all know how important is medicolegal aspect of our job. Patient information in simple words can be found in ASA website and ROCA site. #ASM24BRIS

Who should I be scared of anaesthetising? with Dr. Anna Miedecke Significant increase in mortality for paediatric patients undergoing high risk procedures with >= 2 co-morbidities. @spanzaorg #ASM24BRIS

Update in paediatric adenotonsillectomy with A/Prof Paul Lee-Archer Need to increase my dose of intra-op dex. #ASM24BRIS @spanzaorg

Conversely, some “don’ts” in the lead up to an anaesthetic. @spanzaorg #ASM24BRIS

@spanzaorg session - Are there limits with kids? Dr. Alex Donaldson on the approach to the anxious paediatric patient. Some “do’s” for parents prior to an anaesthetic - via the EPIC framework. #ASM24BRIS

Conferences: important opportunities to stay up to date, engage, network and grow. Serious stuff. Me: Baby Goat and Puppy Yoga #namaste #ASM24BRIS

ICYMI: #ASM24BRIS #Limitless. FANZCA Dr Alex Donaldson is doing great things with the anxiety clinic at @childhealthqld canberratimes.com.au/story/8617009/…

@diarmuidmccoy @GongGasGirl Some scope in the critical reflection activity for measuring performance perhaps.

How do I build rapport? Consider - body language, posture, facial expression - the language you use (nocebo is real!) - active listening - accept reality as your patient experiences it #CommunicationSIG #ASM24BRIS

@lightfootsj The worst 😂

Methods to promote or reduce acute procedural pain. (Oh man..I do a lot from column A) Dr Andrew Watson at #CommunicationSIG #ASM24Bris

Memory is not a tape recorder. Post op review within 6 hours key in re-framing thoughts and perceptions around a potentially traumatic perioperative event. Important intervention in prevention of post traumatic stress. #CommunicationSIG #ASM24Bris

Example of positive reframing. Patients only likely to hear the words “panic” and “worry” when in a threatening environment. #CommunicationSIG #ASM24Bris
