Abstract

Abstract Body

BACKGROUND
Head trauma occurs often in childhood, concussions, considered a type of mild traumatic
brain injury (TBI) , are increasing in incidence in pediatric population and becoming a health
problem globally, most of the concussions are minor and not associated to brain injury but an
small number of children may have a clinically important brain injury in wich case is a principal
cause of disability and death. Family Doctors usually are the first in evaluate children who has
suffered a concussion, must be competent in the evaluation and management of concussions
during the initial presentation, the recognition of clinical signs or symptoms are fundamental
to make a clinical diagnosis and appropriate referral.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
– Management of concussions
– Recognition of clinical signs or symptoms in an initial evaluation.
– Make a correct referral if necessary

ORGANIZATION
– We will make an introduction with a clinical case and explaning characteristic
Features, Diagnosis, and Management.
– We will make 4 groups and provide to each group a different clinical case and ask
to make an evaluation, management and if it is necessary a correct referral,
afterwards each group make a presentation and discuss the case with the other
groups, realizing a group debate.
– Finally We will use Kahoot and ask everyone to participate and evaluating if the
principal topics have been learned.

CONCLUSIONS
We aim that the participants will be able to manage and evaluate a children who has suffered
a concussion, providing key tools following evidence-based medicine.

Abstract

Abstract Body

Background:

Humanity has always been accompanied by different pandemics and according to the tools that were available we dealt with them. Our ability to survive has been spectacular, but the different microorganisms have also adapted and survived with us.


Aim/Learning objectives:

Official recommendations for healthcare workers in contact with covid-19 recommends the use of gloves, gown, respiratory and eye protection. But, do we know what type of equipment we should use according to the type of transmission and how to put it on and take it of properly? Are we trained to work safely and protect ourselves and others?

We will address how to use the PPEs in daily activity, according to the risk of getting infected with COVID-19 and other pathogens.

Methods/Timetable:

- Presentation: 10 mins.

- Game: participants will have to place different microorganisms in different boxes according to the transmission mechanism (and will take the opportunity to review clinical and epidemiology concepts): 25 mins.

- Imitating virtual card game representing the different parts and objects of the PPEs, the participants will have to order them according to the correct to wear them on/off: 25 mins.

- Using real protection material, we will do a drill on how to put on and take off, step by step, the complete equipment: 20 mins.

- Conclusions: 10 mins.

Conclusions:

The pandemic that we are facing has taught us many lessons that we have to acknowledge as long-time learning. Firstly, because the current COVID19 pandemia is not over, and because we must prepare for new microorganisms that may appear.

Abstract

Abstract Body

Background

Approximately 10% of the population we attend is migrant population, among which we find patients forced to leave their countries, others who decide to return to their origin country, and other who must travel for very heterogeneous reasons.

Aim and learning objectives

Pregnancy is a physiological situation and not a contraindication to travel but it is necessary to assure a safe trip, informing of the potential difficulties and risks, applying preventive measures, and acting in case of problems (on the plane, or patera, treating emerging infections or vertical transmission diseases).

Methods and timetable

After a brief presentation (5 mins) our participants will pass through different stations:

1: The participants will have to complete a chart with the different vaccines, and which are indicated and contraindicated during pregnancy: 15 mins.

2: The participants will name different infection diseases that may affect pregnancy and we will make a summary of the clinical and treatment aspects of each one: 15 mins.

3: Clinical cases in which we will address infection diseases in an interactive manner: 15 mins.

4: Do we know the optimal recommendations about transports during pregnancy? To learn, we will travel with Phileas Fogg by boat, elephant and train...: 15 mins.

5: Let's review other pathologies (hypertension, DM, addictions...) and in a dynamic and easy way: 15 mins.

6: We will choose a country and we will organize everything that our patient might need for the trip: 15 mins.

Conclusions: 5 mins.

Conclusions

After this workshop, the participants should be able to evaluate risks and needs in a pregnant traveler, as well as recommend vaccines and tools for improving their travel.

Abstract

Abstract Body

1. Background

Migrants are mostly young and healthy people who do not usually represent any risk to the host community and its public health situation. However, nowadays the different barriers created by the states increase the plural risks of this population, a situation that the global pandemic has not improved. Cultural or language differences increases the risk of clinical error and leads to worse outcomes in our patients' health. As Primary Care professionals we should make some positive changes to arrive at an equal situation.

2. Aim and learning objectives

To face this reality, arises the need for training and updating on issues of international health systems and endemic disease, and acquiring cultural and communication skills.

3. Methods and timetable

We intend this session to be educational guide, with the aim of getting an integral attention to the migrant patients, across:

- The knowledge of emerging pathologies: through pub quizzes, or games in which clues are given to find the right pathology: 20 mins

- The social issues and the different ways of understanding the concept of health and illness: through role-playing and cases that we will analyze: 20 mins

- The necessary resources to improve their health care, such as health promotion, primary prevention, family planning, etc: through clinical cases of patients that have just arrived in our country giving the advice that we seem most appropriate: 20 mins

- Presentation (15 mins) and Conclusions (15 mins)

4. Conclusions

Family medicine is the first level of attention, where it is more likely to achieve an equitable and fair healthcare.
