Jadelle Implants - Concurrent Workshop Repeated
Saturday, 11 June 2011 Start 4:30pm Duration: 60mins Opus
“Medicine is an art, surgery is a skill”: the one hour session will cover both scenes of Jadelle. The
introduction looks at;
• The pharmacologic aspect of Jadelle, including non-gynaecological actions (“side-effects”) and
contraindications,
• and a comparison of Jadelle to oestrogen based contraceptives, and to other progestins.
Plenum question and discussion block concludes the theoretical part of approx 20 min. A brief animated
video (your personal copy is included in the session registration) will set you up to try your skills on a
dummy arm. During the hands-on session further small group discussion is encouraged.

Air Accidents 101 - Concurrent Workshop
Saturday, 11 June 2011 Start 4:30pm Duration: 60mins Picasso
Aircraft accidents and incidents, even minor, have to be reported to the authorities and are generally
thoroughly investigated. This is done on a ‘no blame basis’ for the sole purpose of identifying causes of
mishaps, learning from them, and preventing future occurrences. This philosophy is becoming more and
more accepted in the practice of medicine, particularly in anaesthesia and surgery.
Most accidents and incidents are the result of human error. These errors are often related to a lack of
safety culture, deficient management and failure to address ‘latent failures’. There are lessons to be learnt
for the practice of medicine from aircraft accidents. The workshop addresses some example of aircraft
accidents to illustrate how errors and mishap do occur. It links these to the practice of medicine and
hope to give General Practitioners better awareness of accidents causality and assist them in avoiding
mishaps.
