Local Anaesthesia Outcome Improvement Activity

Local Anaesthesia Outcome Improvement Activity

This measuring outcome activity is accredited by the RACGP and ACRRM for 8.5 hours of measuring outcome hours.

This activity is a streamlined solution to simplify the government-mandated CPD requirements, meeting the outcome measurement obligation with clinically relevant and efficient learning.

Covering local anaesthesia, this course helps doctors review and refine their practice for better patient care. You'll create a quick, go-to checklist by combining best-practice resources, clinical experience, and course insights. The result is a concise, practical, and valuable clinical guide to enhance your daily practice.

You’ll track real improvements by comparing your patient management before and after applying your checklist to three (or more!) patient cases. Practical, measurable, and designed to enhance your expertise.

This Outcome Improvement Activity will guide you to compare and measure your patient management prior to and after applying evidence-based guidelines to three patient cases. Guides, tools and templates are provided as you work through this activity.

This activity is designed to be flexible and enhance your clinical practice. You may complete more than three patient reports and keep the additional reports for your
records.

This activity relates to local anaesthesia and enables doctors to review and enhance their current practice for patients with this condition.

Learning journey

The steps for this activity are:

  1. Identify three patients in your practice
  2. Undertake a baseline measurement using the patient records.
  3. Activate a review/intervention using evidence-based guideline(s).
  4. Undertake another measurement after the review/intervention.
  5. Reflect on how your patient management may change as a result of this activity.
  1. Incorporate a quality improvement change in your own clinical management of patient cases.
  2. Document the process of initiating, planning, implementing, evaluating and reviewing patient case management.
  3. Generate safe, best practice solutions to patient cases.
  4. Measure your management of these patient cases prior to and after completing the activity.

All GPs looking to implement a measuring outcome activity.

This course focuses on local anaesthesia relating to skin cancer medicine. Participants will learn about the pharmacology and guidelines of the two main classes of local anaesthetic - amides (lignocaine, bupivacaine, prilocaine) and esters (procaine, benzocaine, cocaine). Two routes of administration of local anaesthesia are described - local field infiltration and/or nerve block. The process of infiltration is listed, including bevel and needle orientation. Recordings of preparation and injecting the site support the learning. Practical tips for the patient are outlined to minimise wound damage due to site numbness.

The second part of this course focusses on injecting the ear and lip, paying attention to sensory nerve blocks including the trigeminal nerve, infra-orbital nerve, mental nerve and temporal nerves. Diagrams, images and clinical recordings of nerve blocks are provided. ‘Tiger country’ complexities are described and supported by diagrams and images. Areas of extreme complexity like Erb's point, facial nerve (temporal branch and marginal branch), and the common peroneal nerve are outlined. Signs and symptoms of nerve injury are included and practice tasks are provided.
