27th JANUARY 2018LECTURE PROGRAM, BIOGRAPHIES & TALK OUTLINES

What is SKI-ED all about?

The driving force behind setting up this conference is recognition of the increasing pressure we face as Emergency Physicians, but also the realisation that many amongst us carve out fantastic and satisfying careers to balance out time spent on the shop floor. Dive medicine, expedition medicine, forensic and legal work, research, senior management and teaching roles, medical ethics, military work - these are just a few of the experiences enjoyed by clinicians working in Emergency Departments in the South West of England alone.

In the face of the current difficulties in recruiting and retaining trainees and consultants, we feel that it is hugely important to create a forum whereby we can share these experiences to support and inspire each other and the Emergency physicians of the future. SKI-ED is this forum.

Following a successful inaugural SKI-ED conference in 2017, the organisers felt passionately that the seed of inspiration and sustainability combined with some main slope and off piste educational content should be allowed to grow. They have worked hard to create a second SKI-ED conference… It will only be as fabulous as its delegates. May the spirit of SKI-ED get you through the next few months of working in our wonderful specialties. Have fun and see you on the slopes!

He also plies his trade at Plymouth Medical School as Clinical skills Lead and enjoys playing his horn. He will be easily recognised on the Arlberg Circuit by his unusually long skis.

Bob is from Dundee and trained in Dundee but has ended up in Melbourne, Australia, where he lives near the beach and amongst the vineyards on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula with his Aussie wife and 3 young daughters.

She has previously enjoyed cycling and running but her current favourite pastime is walking her dogs along the coastal path.

She is very excited to be at SKI-ED for inspiration, and also to remind herself how to ski after over 10 years away from the slopes!

MONDAY 29/01/18

Dr Suzy Connor:

Suzy is currently ST6 Emergency Medicine at Derriford Hospital, Devon. She works LTFT and is a Mum to two girls. Outside of work she enjoys running, swimming and cycling.

Dr Hannah Stewart:

She graduated from Guy’s King’s and St Thomas’ an embarrassingly long time ago and worked in Cornwall and London before embarking on expedition medicine and research in the South Pacific, Honduras and Zambia. Having trained in the South West since 2008 in EM and PEM, she wishes there were more hours in the day to mountain bike and SUP and is currently developing an expensive addiction to Australian coffee.

Dr Annette Rickard:

Annette is a full time enjoyer of fun times, sea swimming, running, baking, opportunistic skiing and generally having a laugh with family (3 kids and a husband), small boat and friends… and a less than full time Consultant in Emergency Medicine at Derriford in the sunny southwest of England. Her professional interests include paediatric trauma, simulation and safety in the ED. She is really excited about taking her family skiing for the first time in a few weeks!!

Dr Anna Shekhdar:

Anna works as a part time Consultant in Emergency Medicine at RCHT and as a Critical Care doctor on the Cornwall Air Ambulance. She has scaled more mountains and undertaken more expeditions than most of us have had glasses of gluhwein… but is unable to join us all in St Christoph this year as she is currently heavily pregnant with her second child… come back soon Anna…

Dr Lucy Obelensky:

New to the SKI-ED team in 2018, Lucy is a portfolio career doctor specialising in Remote and Global Medicine. When in the UK Lucy works clinically as a GP and staff grade in Emergency Medicine, and as the programme lead for the Global and Remote Healthcare Masters at Plymouth University.
