In this episode of the St. Emlyn's podcast, Rick Body and Charlie Reynard discuss an influential research project conducted by Dr. Reynard during his academic foundation program. The paper, titled 'Optimizing Antiplatelet Utilization in the Acute Care Setting,' explores decision-making under clinical uncertainty, specifically in emergency medicine for suspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Through systematic reviews and decision tree modeling, the research evaluates the benefits and risks of various antiplatelet therapies, such as Ticagrelor and aspirin versus Clopidogrel and aspirin. The findings reveal that Ticagrelor and aspirin are often more beneficial for patients with a greater than 8% probability of ACS, while Clopidogrel holds little to no place in current practice. The discussion opened up new questions about dynamic risk prediction and the importance of modeling to inform clinical decisions.

This podcast and presentation was recorded at the St Emlyn's LIVE conference in Manchester 2018. In this presentation Clare takes us through the rationale, principles, training and practice that we need in order to continually develop as prehospital and resuscitation practitioners.

This is a great presentation for anyone interested in continually developing their own and their colleagues practice, delivered by someone who really knows what they are talking about and who works for one of the best developed resuscitation services in the world.
Clare is an Emergency Physician and specialist in Pre-Hospital Care and Retrieval medicine based in Sydney, with Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Sydney HEMS. She has completed a fellowship in simulation based education, and enjoys training with “real” people - patients, bystanders and the other clinicians we come across as we treat our patients every day. She is a lecturer with the University of Sydney, and is involved in education for the NSW Institute for Trauma Injury Management. When Clare is not working on helicopters or training teams, she is studying yoga or hanging out with her puppy, Archie.
