Ruptured Endovascular Aneurysm Repair – Team Training
Making decisions and applying evidence into practice in emergency situations is fraught with difficulty, especially when patient management involves a variety of clinical professionals often based in different areas of the hospital. A series of critical decisions need to be made and communicated to achieve a good outcome. REVAR – Team Training is a new course developed and delivered by a multi-professional faculty offering a unique opportunity for the multidisciplinary team to rehearse patient care pathway from the time of presentation until definitive intervention. Teams attending this course will be encouraged to apply the key learning points to influence patient care pathway in their own institution in order to enhance patient safety and outcome.
