Doctors and nurses from across the country gather in the Algarve for an Emergency Course

Workshops will also take place on practical issues that health professionals face daily in emergency services.

Making emergency services more efficient and safer for patients and healthcare professionals. This is the aim of the Algarve Emergency Course, which brings doctors and nurses from all over the country to the region in the first week of March.

In addition to lectures on the most relevant topics in urgency, involving different medical specialties, there will also be workshops on practical issues that health professionals face daily in emergency services.

Participants will also have, on March 2nd and 3rd, training in advanced life support, which aims to prevent cardiorespiratory arrest and improve survival after cardiac arrest. It is a training in charge of the Algarve Biomedical Center (ABC), an entity certified by INEM for this purpose.

The Algarve Emergency Course is organized by ABC, in collaboration with the Department of Medicine of the University of Algarve and the Board of Medical Internship of the Hospital and University Center of Algarve, and takes place in the auditorium of the University of Algarve, in Faro.
