Podcasts

I have used the power of podcasts over many years and have connected with others in Critical Care who have shared their experience and knowledge.

Videos

Much of my teaching is available on YouTube.

I love to learn via video so this is also how I like to teach.

Blogs/Learning

My thoughts on topics is also available on this site for you to use. I have set down my thought processes in a logical way to help me and you learn the key topics.

About Me.

I am an Advanced Critical Care Practitioner in the United Kingdom. I have spent 25 years working in the Intensive Care unit and now work along side the doctors doing many of the tasks done only by them in the past. I have a Masters Degree in Anaesthetic Practice and also have the Critical Care Practitioner Podcast in iTunes.
I am an Associate Professor at the University of Warwick in the UK and teach on their Masters level courses aimed at those undertaking advanced practice.

Chest X-Ray Interpretation

Using a structured approach is the best way to become more proficient at this skill. During this teaching I use just such a method with lots of examples.

Acid Base Balance

Not just arterial blood gas interpretation but more importantly an understanding of the physiology of the body which makes interpreting them much easier.
