In 2025, we are planning on holding the following education sessions:
Annual two-day Eye and ENT Emergency Seminar
The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital’s two day Eye and ENT Emergency Seminar is an annual event, occurring in September each year (usually 1st Thursday/Friday). Registrations for the event usually open in mid May each year. The seminar offers the opportunity for participants to draw upon the expertise of our colleagues in Ophthalmology and ENT surgery as their specialties relate to our practice of Emergency Medicine.
Practical Emergency Eye and ENT Skills Workshops
Doctors working in an Emergency Department need to have a high level of skill in assessing and diagnosing ENT and eye presentations. In these workshops there will be small group instruction and demonstration by Specialists. The sessions will be hands on and will be very instructive in a supportive environment.
The workshop will include practical skills including:
- ENT examination
- Use of tuning forks, pneumatic otoscopy and flexible nasoendoscopy
- Removal of ear nose and throat foreign bodies
- Management of epistaxis and management of vertigo
- Practice of eyelid eversion
- Measurement of corneal depth and size of lesions using slit lamp
- Technique for removal of eye foreign body
- Assessment of the anterior chamber
- Measurement of intraocular pressure
- Testing for relative afferent pupil defect and
- Retinal examination.
The Advanced workshop for FACEMs will allow CPD procedural skills sign off for ENT and Eyes.
Dates for 2025 are yet to be confirmed.
