Event Details
Rural and remote general practitioners are commonly faced with a number of medical scenarios which requires them to be multi skilled in area of emergency medicine. Rural and remote general practitioners must also learn to work with often limited support, supplies and equipment, particularly in a town without a hospital. It is therefore essential that they have the basic knowledge required for immediate emergency response in a number of disciplines. The objective of this three day workshop is to provide rural doctors and nurses with cross domain, team-based learning opportunities across a number of topics such as structured approach to the critically ill, cardiology, obstetrics, orthopaedics, retrieval, trauma and airway management plus more.
Learning Objectives
- Identify appropriate management techniques for patient care in everyday emergencies in rural and remote practices.
- Determine a relevant treatment plan based on the emergency situation .
- List appropriate support/services in relation to patient referral such as local transport and evacuation processes .
- Distinguish roles and responsibilities with other team members and other health care professionals to provide optimal patient care.
- Utilise protocols and checklists used in emergency airway management to enhance patient safety .

Event Details
Rural and remote general practitioners are commonly faced with a number of medical scenarios which requires them to be multi skilled. Rural and remote general practitioners must also learn to work with often limited support, supplies and equipment, particularly in a town without a hospital. Furthermore, paediatric care can be very challenging and unpredictable.
The aim of the workshop is to provide rural doctors with cross domain, team based learning opportunities. The workshop will use a variety of teaching methods such as interactive lectures and procedural skills stations related to Paediatrics.
Learning Objectives
- Perform intraosseous needle insertion safely and effectively.
- Demonstrate safe and effective basic paediatric airway management – including reasonable ability to intubate if required in an emergency.
- Demonstrate neonatal resuscitation and paediatric advanced life support using Australasian Resuscitation Council guidelines.
- Assess and safely manage the initial presentation of the critically ill child using an ABCD approach.
- Assess and safely manage common paediatric emergency presentations .

Event Details
Rural and remote general practitioners have an essential role in the care of patients with chronic heart failure throughout their healthcare journey. The GP is crucial in recognising the initial symptoms of chronic heart failure and organising further tests or referral to a specialist, and subsequently initiating and optimising chronic heart failure treatments with proven prognostic benefit. GPs may also need to manage the acutely unwell patient in a emergency setting and arrange hospitalisation.
This one and half day workshop is to provide rural doctors with cross domain, team based learning opportunities. The workshop will use a variety of teaching methods such as interactive lectures, skills stations and realistic patient simulation scenarios of acute cardiac emergencies.
Learning Objectives
-
Delegates will be able to diagnose and manage chest pain in patients.
-
Participants will be able to perform CPR and Defibrillation Skills in line with the current ARC ACLS & BLS algorithms. (not assessed)
-
Delegates will be able to identify and manage heart failure.
-
Delegates will review ‘crisis resource management principles’ in cardiac emergencies.
