I'd also recommend the Scottish Airway and Ventilation Course. Hospital
based but generic skills. Very challenging 1 day course looking at difficult
airways in the emergency department. I strongly recommend it to anyone doing
RSI in the emergent setting. Probably the most useful and challenging course
I have done in ages.
Neil Nichol at Dundee is the man to speak to in Scotland.
It also runs in Bristol and London
