@wildmedupdates.bsky.social Hi Patrick, you’ll get more Bluesky interactions if you add some tags to your account. The wilderness medicine feed could definitely do with livening up ❄️🏔️🚁

Have any of you tried the online cybersecurity simulation game “Hackable Hospital”? It was a EUSEM and will be at WADEM or can be accessed through it’s website. After initial success I am now totally stuck- super frustrating. You would crush it in a blink of your eye @oplopanax.ca #medsky

Kia ora! If you follow me I apologise for lack of content recently. But I’d appreciate your input: Which is your preferred abstract submission portal? Oxford Abstracts, ConfTool , Google Docs , commercial organisers’ own version or any others that you would recommend. Thanks in advance #medsky

🚁 Thank You, NZ PHRM Society! 🚁 It was an honour to present our research on interprofessional pre-hospital teams at the New Zealand PHRM Society meeting! 🎥 Watch the presentation: youtu.be/DYDvudmWMII?...

A high quality syllabus for “Immediate Self Aid for Lone Workers“ appears to be nonexistent.Most first aid depends on a person other than the injured party delivering the first aid. There is a UK “ severely injured “ course which covers application of TQ but that’s all I can find.

6 years ago I had the honour and privilege of being invited and attended the first “The Big Sick” Conference in Zermatt. Following years watched live streams/ recordings and kept up via social media. Keen to see from afar what this year brings #TBS25

It has taken me much longer than it should but I have now created a fully functioning app with a calculator function and PDF printout of FACET "First Aid Complexity Engagement Tool " for WADEM in Tokyo. Thanks go to my friends, Aleksandra and Claude 😉 for their patience and encouragement throughout
