The Ultrasound Vascular Access Workshop is a practical, hands-on training program designed for healthcare professionals who want to improve their skills and confidence in ultrasound-guided venous cannulation.
This workshop focuses on using ultrasound to accurately identify and access peripheral veins, improving first-attempt success rates, reducing patient discomfort, and enhancing overall procedural safety. Participants will gain a solid understanding of ultrasound principles and how to apply them effectively in clinical practice.
Course content includes key anatomy and physiology relevant to vascular access, fundamentals of ultrasound imaging, vein assessment and selection, and appropriate equipment and device choices. Learning is reinforced through structured, hands-on practice using simulation models in a supportive environment.
Guided by experienced instructors, participants will practise probe handling, vein identification, and ultrasound-guided cannulation techniques with real-time feedback to build confidence and competence.
This workshop is ideal for clinicians who regularly perform venous access and want to improve accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes through the use of ultrasound technology in everyday practice.

Advanced Life Support (ALS) Courses – ACCCN Accredited
The Australian College of Critical Care Nurses (ACCCN), a member organisation of the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC), accredits our Advanced Life Support (ALS) programs. These courses offer high-quality education in Adult, Paediatric and Instructor-level resuscitation.
The ACCCN National Advanced Life Support Education program provides practical, evidence-based training for healthcare professionals, including nursing, medical and defence force staff. It suits clinicians who work in critical care environments or who regularly care for critically ill patients.
Because the program builds on existing ALS knowledge, participants should already be familiar with core ALS practices. During the course, you will develop the skills and confidence to lead an ALS team effectively. Before enrolling, please review the ACCCN ALS Team Leader Assessment Criteria to understand the expectations and assessment requirements (download here).
Moreover, all content aligns with current recommendations from ANZCOR, the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), ensuring each course reflects the latest evidence and best practice.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Nurses: Every ACCCN ALS course counts toward CPD hours.
Medical Officers: Courses carry CPD endorsement from:
Australian College of Rural & Remote Medicine (ACRRM)
Australian College of Emergency Medicine (ACEM)
Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA)
College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM)
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP)
The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP)
ACCCN encourages clinicians to complete annual re-certification for both Adult and Paediatric ALS programs. In addition, all participants receive access to an interactive program manual and a range of online learning resources to support their preparation and ongoing development.

This practical workshop helps clinicians build strong and confident skills in wound assessment and management. You will learn how to assess skin integrity, understand each stage of the wound healing process, and recognise the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect healing. We also cover clear and accurate documentation, and how to classify pressure injuries and IAD in a clinical setting. The session also introduces compression therapy, dressing selection, and the basics of NPWT.
You will take part in a range of hands-on activities throughout the workshop. These include identifying different wound types, choosing and applying the right dressings, practising safe debridement, and applying effective compression. Each activity supports real-world clinical practice and helps you feel more confident with everyday wound care.
We run this workshop in collaboration with Far North Coast Wound Services.
