Improving Concussion Management in Healthcare

This month for the September 2023 episode of the RCEM Learning Podcast we've got a New in EM segment looking at the SQUID protocol for DKA. We then move from last month's discussion on Head Injuries and move to Concussion and speak to two experts on the topic and how we can improve our management of this underdiagnosed condition. We then have a discussion with Dan Horner discussing the physiologically difficult airway and we then end with New Online. If you'd like to email us, please feel free to do so here.
