Handbook of Communication in Anaesthesia, Pain Management, and Intensive Care: A Practical Guide to Exploring the Art, 2e by Communication in anaesthesia, pain management, and intensive care can have profound impacts on patients and healthcare colleagues. Good communication can result in better patient outcomes and experiences of the hospital setting, whereas poor communication is frequently at the heart of adverse incidents, complaints, and litigation. This handbook outlines two model frameworks to improve communication: one to give structure to an interaction and one that explores language structures and the layers of meaning to our words. The frameworks are essential tools for communicating with children, obstetric patients, and those with needle phobia. A practical guide, the book is packed with useful tips to enhance interactions with both patients and colleagues. Numerous examples and vignettes clearly demonstrate ideas that will improve patient care, safety, and bring out the best in everyone around. Fully updated with new clinical guidelines and literature, the second edition includes new chapters on how to talk to patients in pain, featuring motivational interviewing techniques, and on social media. Increased coverage of managing challenging situations, includes communicating with distressed relatives, dealing with complaints, and working with interpreters.

You asked; we listened! The new ANZCA & FPM CPD App is available to download today.
The Medical Board of Australia and Medical Council of New Zealand are introducing a range of regulatory changes to the way CPD programs are managed and delivered. These changes come into effect from 1 January 2023, and apply to all specialist medical colleges in Australia and New Zealand. In this video, ANZCA President Dr Chris Cokis explains how the ANZCA & FPM CPD Program CPD program will update to reflect them.
We've created this short video to help fellows and other continuing professional development (CPD) participants of the ANZCA and FPM CPD program navigate their online CPD portfolio for the new 2023 annual CPD program.
As the CPD portfolio is accessible on all mobile devices, the video also walks through how it can be saved as a mobile responsive app for quick access.
ANZCA and FPM Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Committee chair Dr Debra Devonshire and committee member Dr Michael Barlev discuss upcoming changes to our CPD Program. We’re updating our program to ensure fellows and other CPD participants continue to meet regulatory requirements from the Medical Board of Australia and Medical Council of New Zealand.
