Audience: Healthcare Professionals
Cost: Main Workshop (28 - 29 Oct 2023): SGD$500 nett Main Workshop & OT Observational Visit: SGD$850 nett

The 6^th Perfusionist Training and Learning workshop is finally back! Many of our very own perfusion practice and protocols will be presented and discussed in this workshop. Each session is accompanied by a short segment of sharing from participants on their own perfusion experiences. Through this interactive exchange of information and knowledge, learning and training can be fulfilling and enriching for everyone. As in previous workshops, there will be high-fidelity simulation training on various scenarios in CPB and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). Participants may train and improve their technical and communication skills in managing crisis events in both CPB and ECMO.

An optional pre-workshop observational visit on 27 October 2023 will allow pre-registered participants to visit NHCS cardiac operating theatres. Participants will have the opportunity to follow a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) case. Additional fees and entry conditions will be applicable for this observational visit. See registration section below for more information.

To register, see the registration section below.
