IMPACT - Ill Medical Patients’ Acute Care and Treatment
Who is it for:
IMPACT is designed for CT1/2 level trainees in acute medicine, general internal

doctors can also apply but must have 8 months experience in an acute
medical specialty.
IMPACT focuses on the recognition and management of the sick medical
patient and consists of several lectures relevant to Acute Medicine, workshops
(such as ECG, CXR, ABG interpretation), practical skill stations (eg USSguided CVC line insertion on a model, intercostal drain insertion on a sheep
torso etc) and clinical scenarios involving actors. There will be an assessment
on the afternoon of day 2.
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
