OPTIONAL SCIENTIFIC WORKSHOPS:

ANZCA Non-Technical Skills

Workshop Facilitator: Dr Angela Palumbo
Time: 1300 - 1700
Cost: $85
Many anaesthetists are familiar with the Anaesthesia Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) behavioural marker system for the assessment of non-technical skills.  However, incorporating the use of ANTS into our daily practice is often felt to be difficult.  This workshop is designed to help assessors and supervisors observe and recognise non-technical skills in their trainees and colleagues, and empower them to use the ANTS framework for feedback.  The workshop is small-group, intensive and practical, and utilises video-based scenarios for practice in recognising ANTS behaviours
ANZCA accredited for CPD points.

Time: 1300 - 1430
Repeat workshop being held: 1500 - 1630
