Learning Development
Quality solutions for your organisation
Our Course Development Process
We will work with you to:
- Define your organisation’s learning and development goals
- Identify where there is a need to upskill your audience to achieve those goals
- Determine the appropriate tools to enable your audience to develop and practice these skills
- Develop the learning tools in consultation with you to ensure they are up to date, relevant and engaging
- Deliver the learning online, either through our systems or yours, or face-to-face
- Analyse metrics to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the solution

This article explores the risks and management of dynamic hyperinflation in mechanically ventilated patients with status asthmaticus. It outlines causes such as airway obstruction and bronchospasm, and provides strategies for adjusting ventilation settings to minimise gas trapping, support cardiac function, and reduce complications like pneumothorax and systemic hypotension.

This is the second FastTrack on atrial fibrillation (AF). Part 1 described the diagnosis, initial assessment of AF, and indications for urgent review. This FastTrack describes the approach to setting a management strategy using risk calculators, how to assess and reduce risk factors, and long term monitoring of patients with AF.
While cardiac arrest is often a rare event, the high stakes nature means we need to be able to respond instinctively, ensuring immediate effective action when it matters most. How do you stay prepared in-between ALS or PALS courses?
