Bush Rescue

November 16-17th 2012, Hobart, Tasmania

Cost: $1800

Following on from the success with our previous Bush Rescue courses, the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine (ACEM) has asked us to put on a tailored course suitable for delegates at the ACEM conference.

The course covers a range of medical and transferable field skills designed for doctors who may become involved in search and rescue, or emergency incidents, in challenging and steep terrain.

The course provides a structured approach to the management of emergencies and search and rescue in remote or wilderness settings. Within this structured framework there is an emphasis on teamwork, problem solving and improvisation.

The course is highly practical starting with individual skills, progressing through simple medical and rescue scenarios to a complex search and rescue, and a high angle rescue exercise.

Non ACEM delegates are more than welcome to attend this course.

  • "It was the best experience I have had so far in my working life. I was surrounded by experienced, capable and inspiring staff who taught me a lot. The course was extremely well organised, with a great mix of theory and realistic scenarios with a focus on the 'big picture'."

  • "I like the sequential building of core concepts and skills. Very well thought out."
    SO, Nurse and mountaineer
  • "I think the topics were excellent, in the right order, and important bits re-emphasised well. Before the course started I thought that having nonmedical people would be a problem, however, in retrospect it enhanced the group giving better opportunities to learn from each other. You are a great team to who work well together."
    DM, GP Anaesthetist
