ACC’s new Work Capacity Certification module
ACC has worked with the Goodfellow Unit to release a new module on Work Capacity Certification.
Paediatric Analgesia and Pain Assessment
So perhaps your patient has a triplane ankle fracture. Perhaps a 13% TBSA mid dermal burn. How do you manage and assess paediatric pain?
Removing a Buried Earring
Had quite a few kids with embedded earings recently. With older individuals, I have removed them with anaesthetic but it can be quite challenging in the young. Do you have any tips for embedded earing removal?
Urgent Bite 61 – Examples of myoclonic activity after a vasovagal

Mandible Injuries
Mandible fractures, this is a post from DFTB. I did not realise that mandible fractures are the most common facial fractures in children! An interesting fact to store. My 50 cents is don’t forget the tongue blade test! Also if you have high suspicion don’t rely on plain radiographs for a rule out. They are too insensitive.
