ACROSS November and December, Careflight is hosting free workshops in regional, rural, and remote communities across Victoria to share essential life-saving skills to manage common infant health concerns and emergencies.
Careflight has developed mobile, evidence-based programs designed to aid clinicians to better diagnose and treat seriously ill and injured infants and children who are a long way from hospital to have the health care they need.
Since 2011, more than 460 workshops have equipped participants on topics including paediatric assessment, fluids for kids, intraosseous insertions, cardiac arrest, neonatal resuscitation and paediatric trauma simulation.
Thanks to donations from individuals and businesses, the workshops are free.
Careflight is offering two Sick and Injured Kids in the Bush workshops for clinicians at Seymour Health, 1 Bretonneux Street on Monday, November 24.
The first will run from 8.00am to 12pm and the second will be 1pm to 5pm.
Each workshop is delivered by a team of highly skilled doctors, nurses and paramedics who are passionate about building capacity in communities to ensure paediatric patients are given the best possible chance of recovery.
