Description

Event Title: Thoracic Surgery - Preparing for On-Call Shifts

Join us for an essential session in the East of England Surgical FY Programme focused on Thoracic Surgery. This event is designed to equip Foundation Year doctors with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently manage on-call shifts involving thoracic surgery patients.

During the session, we will explore:

  • How to prepare for an FY on-call shift in thoracic surgery: From understanding key conditions to familiarizing yourself with common presentations, you'll learn how to organize yourself for the specific demands of thoracic surgery.
  • What’s expected of an FY doctor: We’ll discuss the role of the FY doctor during on-call shifts, including communication with senior teams, patient handovers, and making critical decisions under pressure.
  • Managing thoracic surgery patients: We’ll cover the fundamentals of handling thoracic surgery emergencies, post-operative care, and common complications you may encounter, such as pneumothorax, pleural effusions, and post-op respiratory issues. You'll also learn how to approach chest drains and manage acute deteriorations.

This interactive session will be led by an experienced thoracic surgeon and offer practical advice, case studies, and an opportunity for Q&A. Whether you’re about to begin your thoracic surgery rotation or want to build your confidence for future shifts, this session is vital preparation for what’s ahead.
