Thursday was a good night for all, covering a few more modules briefly just as an overview of what had already been done throughout the year.

One of my first training nights I attended in Katherine was with Geoff Lohmeyer where we covered envenomation. I found Geoff’s training very interesting, however I have always had trouble remembering what marine stings gets treated with what treatment. I’m sure there are many others in this boat with me, so I decided to do a bit of research for myself and create some posters as a teaching aid for the benefit of our members in Katherine.

Thursday night we covered this topic again with Christine Sutherland one of our accredited assessors. With a quiz that Christine had made that night by copying the table (in the back of our re accreditation book) and cutting it up to make a puzzle, we firstly had to put the puzzle back together and then looking at the posters to see where we had gone wrong.

In making these posters I was able to remember the right treatments for each envenomation as I had learnt by making the posters. Learning is different for everyone, it is all very individual, and that was my way of learning. It might be your way of learning, if you are a person who finds you learn from visual aids then make something similar for yourself. More than just you will benefit from them, your division will as well!
