what this Event is about
In this Conference, we will explore the significance of advanced respiratory assessment by the Registered Nurse /Paramedic. We will examine the chest landmarks and demonstrate the auscultation technique. The general respiratory assessment of a deteriorating patient with respiratory compromise will be explained. We will also explore a variety of uncommon respiratory disorders that are life-threatening.
Chest auscultation, interpretation of chest x-rays and interpretation of arterial blood gases (ABG) will be explained in an easy-to-follow format with clinical hints and scenarios.
“The importance of expert nurses being able to interpret deterioration in ABG samples not only in the critical care and ED but also the ward cannot be underestimated.”
“I have been told by several work colleagues how great Anne’s courses are. I was not disappointed at all. I would have to say as a first time attendee at one of Anne’s courses, this is the best presentation I have ever been to….. I will certainly be back for more.”
– Karen, Deteriorating Patient with Respiratory Conditions, The Gold Coast 2023

Something to do for everyone
The attractions of the Gold Coast bring smiles to people of all ages and stages. With exhilarating rides, exotic animals and endless waterslides to help you cool off on hot summer days, your Gold Coast holiday offers a full spectrum of interactive entertainment - from dazzling big budget Gold Coast theme parks to small, hilariously kitsch museums.
Amusements and Theme Parks
The Coast’s kid cred is already world-renowned – theme parks rise from the sand and sea. Jump into cute, cuddly and roaring wildlife encounters; worlds built entirely for those that bounce; and ice creameries serving up sugar highs from just about every corner.

The Gold Coast shopping scene is vast - from discount factory outlets to high-end designer boutiques and everything in between.
Who doesn't love a good dose of retail therapy?
Enjoy some fabulous food
The Coast is a place where night bites, hatted restaurants, street eats and breweries are all served with a side of alfresco. A place where five-star feasting means dusting the sand from your feet; where surfers swap their boards for a latte at sun-up and little ones break from beachside frolics to feast on epic spreads of fish and chips.
