Created by Rural Generalists, for Rural Generalists, ACRRM's Rural Emergency Skills Training (REST) course gives you the skills and confidence required to manage emergencies in your rural community.

The REST course has approximately 12 hours of self-directed online learning followed by two hands-on workshop days. REST covers many of the common emergencies that are likely to present in the pre-hospital, small rural hospital, and private rural practice environments.

The aim of this course is to teach a structured approach to the initial resuscitation and stabilisation of patients presenting with life-threatening conditions and to enhance the practical skills required for managing emergencies in the rural context.

Upon successful completion of the course, you'll walk away with skills in basic life support, along with more advanced skills and techniques to assist with managing life-threatening injuries and medical events.
