This workshop will provide rural generalists with contemporary learning environments designed around guided scenario-based activities. The training includes technical and non-technical skills with a focus on team communication and improving emergency anaesthetic skills for clinicians practicing in Rural & Remote environments.

The training scenarios (based on the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) emergency response activities) include can’t intubate/can’t oxygenate; management of haemorrhage; management of anaphylaxis; and severe behavioural disturbance.

This program will guide participants through the current guidelines, review pharmacological options and considerations, and enable real world practical skills development in a constructive and supportive environment.

This is a course for Rural Generalists, taught by Rural Generalists. As this course encompasses the ANZCA Emergency Response Activities, it is also suitable for trainees and fellows of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, trainees and Fellows of the Australian College of Emergency Medicine and other trainees and fellows who have already acquired airway skills.
