• Procedural sedation in the Emergency Department

  Did you know that about 10% of the population avoid seeking medical care due to fear associated with medical procedures?    Early healthcare experiences shape future responses and poorly managed procedural distress can have long-term negative effects.    When a procedure is anticipated to be particularly painful or distressing, we may need consider the use of procedural sedation.    But which sedation is the best? when should we use it? and what do we need to consider?   To help answer these questions and talk more about procedural sedation in the Emergency setting we are lucky to be joined by Amanda Stock and Melanie Turner.

• Farm safety for children

  Whilst there are thousands of them dotted across the country, farms are a very unique place of work. And the reason for this is that farms are the livelihood of the farmers themselves and almost always, the farmers live on the farm. This means, if the farmers have children, the children are also on the farm and in many cases, they will work on the farm, often from a young age.   But just like any workplace and any home, accidents can happen and some of these are serious.   Today we have 3 guests who each have a different role to play in farm safety for children and are coming to this conversation from different perspectives.    Farm Family Safety Toolkit | National Centre for Farmer Health   RCH, Farm Safety Fact Sheet https://www.rch.org.au/kidsinfo/fact_sheets/Farm_Safety/   VFF, Child Safety on Farms Guidebook Available with additional information: https://www.makingourfarmssafer.org.au/resources/child-safety-on-farm-handbook/ Direct link for handbook: https://www.makingourfarmssafer.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/VFF-Child-Safety-on-Farms-Guidebook-PDF.pdf   Kidsafe Victoria, Farm Safety Information and resources https://www.kidsafevic.com.au/home-safety/farm-safety-creative-competition/ Direct link to parent guide to farm safety: https://www.kidsafevic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/202204-Kidsafe-Parents-Guide-to-Farms-web-version.pdf Direct link to farm safety checklist: https://www.kidsafevic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Farm-Safety-Checklist_Digital.pdf   Victorian Better Health Channel, Farm Safety Information https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/farm-safety-children   Royal Life Saving Australia, Farm Water Safety https://www.royallifesaving.com.au/stay-safe-active/locations/farm-water-safety
