Remote and rural general practitioners commonly encounter a number of medical scenarios that demand them to possess a broad skill set, particularly in emergency medicine. These practitioners must adapt to working with limited support, resources, and equipment, especially in a town without a hospital. As a result, it is imperative that they have the basic knowledge for immediate emergency responses across various disciplines.
Why Attend?
This dynamic 2.5 day workshop features:
Engaging Interactive Lectures: Learn from expert presenters on topics such as a structured approach to critical care, cardiology, obstetrics, orthopaedics, retrievals, trauma, airway management and more.
Collaborative Small Group Case Discussions: Engage in real-world scenarios with your peers, promoting teamwork and cross-disciplinary learning experiences.
Practical Procedural Skills Stations: Gain hands-on experience in essential techniques for rural emergencies including BLS, rhythms & pacing, intraosseous catheterisation, emergency obstetric procedures, airway skills, orthopaedic skills and intercostal catheterisation.
