At our medical school we recognise the need for teaching in this
important area and we have a seminar (whole day) on 'fluids and
electrolytes' for the 5th year students, taught by chemical
pathologists, ITU physicians, renal physicians, pharmacists and nurse
practitioners.
Since I joined here I have also run a turrial sesion on this topic to
final year students.

> If you consider, as I do, that basic knowledge of fluid and electrolyte
> management falls within the remit of Clinical Biochemistry, the surveys
> of Dileep Lobo (2 abstracts attached) showing the lack of training of
> junior and senior doctors about basic fluid and electrolyte management
> make interesting reading.
>
> If you want a useful clinical audit topic, try auditing the incidence of
> hypernatraemia in your inpatients, by doing a gather from your database
> for 6 months, and see where they come from and how many cases were
> avoidable.

> I think we can help here both at a local and National level.
