September 2015 brought us the superb RCEM Annual Scientific Conference in Manchester. Rick Body and the Organising Committee did a superb job of providing us with 3 days of education, entertainment and networking.
For those of you who weren’t able to attend and for those of you who want to listen again to some of the great talks, this month we’ll be bringing you some of the superb plenary sessions on the podcast.
Jonathan Benger is the speaker for this podcast on minor head injury…probably.
Cervical Spine Injury
Cervical spine injuries are rare but potentially devastating. Immobilisation of the cervical spine on the slightest suspicion of injury is recommended by most resuscitation courses.
Mechanism of Injury
Understanding mechanism of injury is a crucial aspect of managing patients who have suffered traumatic injuries. This session aims to provide an overview on attaining this information and its translation into patient care.
Abdominal Trauma
The assessment of abdominal trauma is notoriously difficult. Serious intra-abdominal injuries may initially appear to be innocuous and localisation of symptoms is variable.

Good practical tips that could be included in teaching as well (including the pirate jokes).
Very logical
