Registrations are now open for the 2022 CRANAplus Conference.
To join the remote healthy community in Adelaide from 4-6 October, head to our conference website.
Designed for Nurses, Midwives, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners, Paramedics, and Medical Officers, the Remote Emergency Care course allows participants to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to respond with confidence to emergency situations and to deliver safe and quality care in the remote setting.
The Remote Emergency Care (REC) course is designed by remote health clinicians for remote health clinicians. The course is contextualised to the remote and isolated practice, with current evidence-based content within a cross-cultural framework aligned with National Standards. By using a blended learning approach, clinicians will develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise an emergency, provide initial stabilisation and manage a range of medical and trauma presentations.
CRANAplus encourages clinicians to apply the knowledge and skills acquired learnt within the context of the policies of the employing health service and within each individual’s own scope of practice.
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.
If you have any queries about the course or its relevance to your practice, submit an enquiry here.
The REC course uses a blended learning approach:
All participants attending a face-to-face workshop will be required to show evidence of their COVID-19 vaccination status upon entry to the course venue. A minimum of two vaccine doses is required. However, where jurisdictions implement public health orders for three doses this will be applied.
