The College of Paramedics and JRCALC are pleased to welcome a fantastic line up of speakers for this years ‘What’s new and What’s next?’

The last 12 months have been extremely challenging for us all and with an ever increasing workload the team at JRCALC wanted to bring you the latest updates from the authors themselves in one complete day. Hear from the authors, find out the latest updates and pose a question to the panel, this one day event is sure to be packed full of information to develop us to face the next 12 months.

Taking place on Thursday 18th November, topics covered include key changes and updates in anaphylaxis, resuscitation and steroid treatment for dependent patients. In addition we’ll be given an insight into new guidelines around non-traumatic back pain and assessing and managing a patient hanging before finally delving into research and welcome authors of the Paramedic3 trial, assessing data on Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest and what we can expect in the near future.
