Trauma Workshop

Trauma care is time-critical, with the goal of minimising the time from injury to definitive care. However, in rural areas, this time is often prolonged due to geography and accessibility. Rural locations also see higher rates of farming, mining, industrial, and motor vehicle accidents, along with increased access to firearms. General Practitioners in these areas are frequently called to manage trauma in its early stages, requiring advanced emergency care skills to stabilise patients until specialist care is available.
