The Rural and Remote Emergency Medicine Workshop is an interactive 2 day program that focuses on developing the emergency management skills and knowledge of rural and remote clinicians. Facilitated by experienced emergency and critical care clinicians the workshop addresses both adult and paediatric emergency presentations, including:

• Identification and management of the critically ill adult and paediatric patient in the rural and remote setting
• Approach and management of the agitated patient in a rural ED
• Management of severe traumatic brain injury in the remote setting
• Advanced airway management
• Emergency procedural skills such as airway & ventilation, plastering, suturing, vascular access and chest drain insertion

Immersive simulation scenarios will provide participants the opportunity to apply, practice and consolidate acquired skills and knowledge throughout the course. This course is designed to complement the Trauma Skills Refresher course.
