CRANAplus Remote Emergency Care Course in Darwin

The REC course is designed to facil­i­tate a per­son­alised learn­ing expe­ri­ence for the remote and iso­lat­ed clin­i­cian (Nurs­es, Mid­wives, Abo­rig­i­nal & Tor­res Strait Islander Health Workers/​Practitioners, Para­medics and Med­ical Offi­cers) who may be required to pro­vide emer­gency care to the crit­i­cal­ly ill or injured patient.

For many employ­ers REC is a manda­to­ry pre­req­ui­site to work in remote locations.

The REC course uses a blend­ed learn­ing approach:

• Online pre-course mod­ules that must be com­plet­ed one week before the course
• Atten­dance at a two day face to face work­shop con­sist­ing of guid­ed dis­cus­sions, prac­ti­cal skill sta­tions led by high­ly expe­ri­enced clin­i­cians, and con­text based scenarios
• A basic life sup­port clin­i­cal skills assess­ment (Option­al)
• An indi­vid­ual sce­nario based assessment
