The RESP-High Risk Emergency Program has been developed to provide CPD in the recognition, workup and management of emergency presentations associated with the risk for serious / life threatening illness. While the "RESP-Critical Care" and "RESP-Paediatric" workshop programs focus on the assessment and management of Triage Category One patients, this course examines the patients generally triaged as category two or three (or even sometimes category four) where serious disease needs to be considered. The course explores the "red flags" associated with a specific presentation that indicate an increased risk for serious disease and discusses the workup and emergency management of these patients. The program aims to increase confidence in identifying adults where serious disease is a major consideration and initiate emergency management in these patients.

The course is divided into 8 modules that cover the following topics :

• Critical Thinking in High Risk Emergencies

• Acute Chest Pain

• Acute Headache

• Fever/Sepsis

• Acute Abdominal Pain

• Severe Dyspnoea

• Syncope/Collapse

• Severe Agitation

The course is delivered using a series of case based video podcasts, interactive case simulations and clinical management summaries. Completion of a graded quiz enables the learner to assess their understanding and mastery of an individual topic. Written summaries and selected readings allow learners to review and explore a topic in greater detail.

The course may be completed over 8 weeks with an average of 2 hours / week but can be easily completed in a shorter or longer time frame according to the individual learner's schedule. Enrolment is for a period of 24 months.
