More than 100 Rural Generalists and 20 course facilitators have converged in Brisbane for the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine’s (ACRRM’s) Emergency Week, a critical professional development program equipping doctors with specialist skills to support rural, remote, and First Nations communities.
The week-long program includes courses in Advanced Life Support 2, Rural Anaesthetic Crisis Management, Pre-Hospital and Emergency Care, and Rural Emergency Obstetric Training.
Attendees from across Australia have travelled to the College’s training facilities to gain and enhance their skills, enabling them to provide high-quality healthcare where it is most needed.
ACRRM President, Dr Rod Martin, emphasises the importance of group, hands-on training opportunities.
“Rural Generalists are often the first and only medical professionals available in life-threatening situations in rural and remote areas,” Dr Martin says.
“Emergency Week provides them with essential, hands-on training to deliver the best possible care—whether it’s responding to a critical birth complication, managing a pre-hospital trauma, or stabilising patients in cardiac arrest.
“These programs are not just about skills; they’re about building confidence.
“When doctors feel well-prepared, it significantly impacts the outcomes for patients and strengthens the resilience of communities.”
Emergency Week is one of ACRRM’s flagship initiatives, offering significant benefits for participants and their communities.
“Bringing these courses together in one location significantly reduces the travel and time our doctors spend away from their families and communities,” Dr Martin says.
“It’s a practical approach that helps ensure they can maintain their expertise without compromising their commitments at home or work.
“It’s also an opportunity for our highly experienced Rural Generalist course facilitators, who understand the unique challenges of working in rural, remote, and First Nations communities, to come together, network, and share their expertise.
“Investing in this training directly supports our vision of strong, thriving rural, remote and First Nations communities.”
Emergency Week courses are designed to replicate real-life emergency scenarios, empowering participants to develop critical decision-making and procedural skills in a safe and supportive environment.
