The Ultrasound Vascular Access Workshop is a comprehensive educational program designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform ultrasound-guided venous cannulation with confidence and precision. This hands-on workshop focuses on enhancing participants’ proficiency in identifying and accessing peripheral veins using ultrasound
guidance, thereby improving patient safety and procedural success rates. Facilitated by FACEM and Medical Educator, Dr Alex Pullen, this course covers anatomy, physiology and device selection.
The Paediatric Skills Day is an engaging and practical educational event designed to strengthen the clinical capabilities of healthcare professionals involved in the care of infants, children, and adolescents. This full-day program places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, offering participants the opportunity to develop and refine essential skills through interactive workshops and skill stations. Led by experienced clinicians and educators, the day will cover key areas of paediatric assessment, diagnosis, and management in a supportive, simulation-based environment.
This hands-on workshop covers a range of essential techniques for wound closure and immobilization, ensuring participants are equipped to deliver high-quality care in clinical settings. Participants will have the opportunity to practice wound closure techniques on simulated skin models and perform plastering procedures on anatomical moulds under the guidance of experienced instructors.
Write. Connect. Collaborate.
This two-day in-person retreat at UCRH’s Lismore campus is designed for anyone who writes about disasters or climate change, whether you’re a grant writer, communications specialist, program manager, academic, or practitioner. Take time to focus on your writing, connect with others in the field, and (if you choose) participate in peer review sessions. Last year’s retreat sparked new friendships, broadened perspectives, and fostered collaborations across organisations and universities.

A two-day Adult Advanced Life Support program to healthcare professionals in the provision of adult basic and advanced life support in a critical care clinical setting. The program content runs over two days with assessment for certification for both BLS and ALS on the second day. The course is based on the latest Australian Resuscitation Council statements on basic and advanced life support and current ANZCOR guidelines, incorporating theoretical lectures, clinical skill stations, and simulation scenarios.
This course provides comprehensive training in two essential medical procedures: cannulation and venepuncture. Designed for healthcare professionals, including nurses, phlebotomists, and medical assistants, this course equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform these procedures. By the end of the course, participants will have the knowledge and confidence to perform cannulation and venepuncture safely and effectively, contributing to improved patient care and outcomes in various healthcare settings.
