@kiddr_7 @WRAPEMtweet Diploma of Positive Psychology - Langley Institute (Sue Langley is amazing and so lovely). I thoroughly recommend it.

@fif_doc @WRAPEMtweet Thanks for sharing it with us - so interesting! What was the course that you did? I’d love to learn more!

Do I energise a room when I enter it or when I leave it?! Manage your mood. Be conscious about your mood. See challenges as opportunities - use curiosity. Just smile! @fif_doc @WRAPEMtweet #wrapem #positivity

When attending a conference it is important to have nice snacks for afternoon tea, even if you’re attending a virtual conference. @hansendisease

@drbhavpatel @hansendisease @acemonline @RaghwanShani @cha_greentree @EricaGannon76 Fellows from multiple departments. 😊

@hansendisease @acemonline @fif_doc @RaghwanShani @cha_greentree @EricaGannon76 Dr Hansen, the number of emergency physicians in your pictures is going up with every tweet. I hope you have allocated someone to run the emergency departments in the city!

@rosengrend @louiseacullen @MetroNorthHHS Would love to see them come to Charlies too!

@BecomingCharlee This fills my heart with joy. We need to see more of this.

@JennieHanks1 @EMtraveller @clifford0584 @ketaminh @rseglenieks @ama_media @DrMikeFarquhar Well done Jen for helping out your colleagues. We need to see more of this in Medicine. Break down the silos and be kind to one another.

@EMtraveller @clifford0584 @ketaminh @rseglenieks @ama_media @DrMikeFarquhar I’ve certainly been and helped clerk a few medical patients when I was a surgical SHO and light on jobs, but the difficulty then comes when you’re halfway through something that becomes complicated and then have to leave or can’t finish the job properly

@spriestley1 @bethany_boulton @rulesrule1 @WRAPEMtweet @juanitarayner Absolutely. Well said.

Choosing to work less than full time for all the right reasons bring it on! Being forced to work less as a self preservation defence mechanism from understaffing or unsafe levels of intensity in your workplace - never acceptable. @rulesrule1 @WRAPEMtweet @juanitarayner @qldas19

@alaanibrahim @WRAPEMtweet I agree we also need other opportunities within our workplaces @alaanibrahim. We should have a look at what some of the UK departments are doing in this space. We all need more sustainable working arrangements. Lots more discussion and ideas needed in this space.

This is very important point @WRAPEMtweet but I have question , what about FACEMs who don’t get other opportunities outside work ? How as an organization can help them to get other opportunities inside work fairly?

@rulesrule1 @CharleyMcNabb @juanitarayner @spriestley1 @WRAPEMtweet Great to be able to see what is most important to our colleagues.

Great discussion on what makes sustainable rosters in Emergency Medicine at #qldas19. Key messages from panel members @CharleyMcNabb @juanitarayner @spriestley1 & Colin Myers. 1. Flexibility 2. Equity 3. Empathy 4. Individualised 5. Transparency @WRAPEMtweet Audience poll below

Patient with a sudden onset headache? Google SNNOOP10! Note the double “n” or you will get a rapper instead of a research study. 😉

Which dressing is best for minor burns? This is often the most difficult question when managing minor burns in the ED. Sensible advice from Dr Carl Lisec (Burn Surgeon) @liseccarl who says any dressing is fine as long as you use it correctly. #qldas19

Burns Mx- Use Hartmann’s solution in 1st 8 hrs. Assess response to fluid resuscitation with urine output >0.5mL/kg/hr and aim for Hb 150mg/dL. Hypotension in the first 8 hours is usually not from the burn - assess for other causes. Dr Carl Lisec at QLD Autumn Symposium. #qldas19

All major burns will haemoconcentrate. A haemoglobin aim of 150 d/L is the sweet spot for fluid resuscitation - @LisecCarl #qldas19

Dr Carl Lisec - First 8 hours of burns management : Hypotension is not due to burn Use warm Hartmann’s Keep patient warm Measure fluid balance @QldAutumnSymp @acemonline #qldas19

Emergency Departments are deliriogenic!

@Kerryn_Rhodes @rulesrule1 Hi Kerryn. We meet during hours but not everyone comes. We then keep in touch via a what’s app group and email minutes of meetings around.

@rulesrule1 @fif_doc Got the brain thinking... Need a strategy to convince my execs that I should spend a little bit of time to measure and develop ongoing activities - it’s been asked for by the ED team. How did you start the wellness team? Outside work hours to meet up?

In my eyes it was a success. But how do I prove that? I have been the solo facilitator this week - would anybody have time to coach me through how to measure and what to measure? #EMWW19 #EMwellnessweek19
