18.01.2022 This Emergency Life | Dr D Crellin FCENA We have been very excited about releasing our discussion with Dr Dianne Crellin for some time now. Di is an emergency nurse practitioner at the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne and senior lecturer coordinating the nurse practitioner program at Melbourne University’s Department of Nursing, and as you will hear she has an incredibly broad reach to her clinical and research interests. A past Executive Director of the College ...of Emergency Nursing Australasia who has received the Julie Finucane AOM Medal for Leadership in Emergency Nursing, Di has way too many strings to her emergency nursing bow to cover in this brief introduction. During this week's episode of the podcast, John and Cliff cover a lot of ground with Di about pain assessment and management in children, distraction techniques, her experiences with AUSMAT and VMAT responding to disasters in South East Asia and Pacific regions as well as the ENP team at RCH ED. Luckily for us, Di self-identifies as someone who loves to chat - and chat we did! We hope you enjoy listening to her insights as much as we did. Listen now: https://www.thisemergencylife.com

17.01.2022 Media release | Violence is simply not acceptable CENA are saddened to again hear of another attack against a frontline healthcare worker. While the people that resort to these violent actions only ever represent a very small minority of the community, it is still distressing and unacceptable. We are conscious that we believe we reflect the views of the community when we say enough is enough and violence is never ok. ... Our support and thoughts go out to any frontline worker across healthcare and other industries who have experienced violence or hostility. Whether physical or verbal, violence is NEVER acceptable. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au//41ccff9253626a0578520fc

We cover a lot ground in our short chat; from how the NEAT tar...gets are tracking 8 years later, to illicit drug presentations in the ED as well as Daniel's interest in the arts. During our conversation, we discuss a few videos which Daniel has released. They can be found here: The Art of the ED (https://vimeo.com/206340916/a82b8cfb6d) Time travel in the ED (https://vimeo.com/315369423) The lived experience of mental health patients in ED (https://vimeo.com/296327788) I hope you enjoy Daniel's view of emergency care and please do check out his videos, they’re well worth it!

15.01.2022 This Emergency Life | Professor Marg Fry This week we caught up with one of the most respected emergency care leaders in Australasia, Professor Marg Fry FCENA. A winner of the Australasian Emergency Nurse of the Year and the Julie Finucane OAM Medal for Leadership in Emergency Nursing, Marg’s applied research on improving the quality and safety of nursing care and patient outcomes has led to significant change in emergency nursing practice and policy over the years. Marg is c...urrently Director Research and Practice Development Nursing and Midwifery Directorate, Northern Sydney Local Health District which is a Professorial Chair appointment with the University of Technology Sydney. Amongst other achievements, she is renowned for her work in advanced nursing practice and pain management. Marg has also developed and implemented innovative models of care that have been translated across Australia and through the nexus of academic and clinical roles has achieved clinically relevant evidenced informed emergency care. Marg speaks about a broad range of topics related to the quality of care we deliver in the ED and the importance of maintaining that quality when things get busy. We also get some insights on becoming a leader, getting started in emergency research, working to our full scope, as well as Marg’s thoughts on pain management in the ED (and yes, there is still room for improvement).

01.01.2022 "Don't be ashamed to cry, Let me see you through, 'cause I've seen the dark side too." Today is #RUOKDay, and what better day to launch Scrub Choir 2.0, with... over 400 RMH Staff members singing "I'll stand by you" by The Pretenders. Led by Music Therapy Director Dr Emma O'Brien OAM, the Scrub Choir has been an opportunity for staff at the RMH to take a moment out of their busy day, or after a shift on the COVID-19 wards to unwind and reflect. Many people who participated found it a therapeutic experience. Some highlights of this latest instalment include some of our RMH Doctors in a string quartet, Nurse Kathy who leads the song in AUSLAN, and many of our interpreters and nurses sharing their native language. We hope you enjoy our gift to you today. And please, look after yourself. Help and support is available. Please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 for immediate assistance. In an emergency call 000.
