The Cool Topics in Neonatology conference and the Supporting Neonatal Transition workshop presented by the Royal Women's Hospital were excellent. There is so much interesting research going on, much of it here in Melbourne.
The Royal Children's Hospital deserves to be commended for its CPD program - weekly Grand Rounds, special Practical Paediatrics events for GPs and the recent Campus Research and Education Week, which was simply outstanding.
Also deserving of credit are the RVEEH (Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital) for its series of updates for GPs, and MIPS, a medical indemnity organisation which runs risk management workshops for its members.
The RACGP runs several workshops and seminars over the course of the year, as does Australian Doctor, and the ones that I attended were both interesting and worthwhile.
Over the past couple of years I have attended both of the Anaesthetics symposia run by St Vincent's Hospital and the Alfred, and these are normally of a very high standard.
The Monash University Disaster Resilience initiative continued its series of periodic symposia in 2012, and these appear set to continue in 2013.
The International Congress of Aviation and Space Medicine hosted some interesting presentations, and it was a good opportunity to meet fellow practitioners from around the world. Perhaps the highlight was the visit on the last day to the Air Ambulance facility at Essendon Airport and the Trauma Centre at the Alfred Hospital. Some photos appear at the bottom of this page.
