2023 NSW ACE Spring Meeting

“Here & Now”
 
“We just need to make this happen” anonymous
 
Competing demands and expectations appear daily from multiple sources: patients, families, colleagues, trainees, management, governments, and professional bodies. This can be exacerbated in regional areas by limited resources and geography. Production pressure, in both urgent and planned care, can lead us to perform outside our comfort zone, a source of stress and conflict. Not only do we wonder how to proceed safely, but how do we ensure we are not risking our patients, ourselves or our organisation?

Our invited speakers are a diverse group of clinicians and experts whose experiences will allow us to explore this continual conundrum.
