Rural Anaesthesia Australia

GP-anaesthetists perform safe anaesthesia in Australian communities. Rural Anaesthesia Down Under is a closed Facebook group for GP-Anaesthetist advocacy.

@thomasdolphin Good god! What is the price of good will? We are finding out in real time. Sins of omission and stupidity are one thing, commission and malice quite another. Atlas will shrug.

[ANMF - Australian Nursing Midwifery Federation @anmf_federal]

Australia should be a world leader in #agedcare. That's why nurses and doctors have joined forces calling for aged care ratios. Today the ANMF, @ama_media, @RACGP, @anzsgm have published a letter in The Australian calling on @ScottMorrisonMP to legislate minimum staffing ratios.

Midazolam. Use the real name not trade name (so no versed vs vecuronium stuff ups)

[GoodSAM @GoodSamApp]

Welsh Ambulance Service AEDs now syncing with GoodSAM, so you can always find your nearest defibrillator in Wales. Thank you @welshambulance #CPRSavesLives

[Tim Leeuwenburg @KangarooBeach]

The elusive GP-anaesthetist - mostly working where they trained to i.e. in the rural areas. Thanks @acrrm for supporting the @RuralAnaes project and supplying data to inform @acrrm @anzca @racgp on future of rural anaesthesia #rma18

[Rural Anaesthesia Australia @RuralAnaes]

I thought they all were!

[HeartSAFE KI @HeartSafeKI]

The team at @heartsafeki (Australias first #heartsafe community) will be running community-CPR and AED training on #kangarooisland to help bolster our already impressive network of PADs and CPR-trained rural folk https://t.co/nrpQ2N1H1h

Imagine you are having a STEMI - a thread in 5 parts...

You call an ambulance, but the police arrive. They handcuff you and bundle you into the back of their van.

You are carted off to an emergency department, where the doctors only have a vague understanding of your disease.

[Tim Leeuwenburg @KangarooBeach]

Excited to see the ‘consultation’ and ‘scene incident’ options for teleconferencing within the @GoodSamApp control panel. Does this mean live, secure streaming from prehospital incident to comms? Whoo hooo

[GoodSAM @GoodSamApp]

@MikeRayVic is our hero! He has been amazing at integrating GoodSAM in @AmbulanceVic - thanks for all your work Mike!

[Megan Wake @jebbymegan]

Gosh this looks hard! SALAD trainer from @KangarooBeach and managing the ‘challenging’ airway. #emsa18 Mary is a legend! @NeumannSally @AstiTraveller

[Konrad Kangru @WhitGP]

Effective #MyHR use would help every pt. Safety, efficiency, co-ordination & continuity of care would be way beyond anything we expect now.
But this current model won't do that.

Excellent news - participants in @anzca CPD and @racgp @acrrm GPAs can claim @ETMCourse for the ‘Major Haemorrhage’ emergency response component of their CPD

The #MyHealthRecord system will create significant #privacy harms for patients. So to the medical industry, I say this:
Primum non nocere.
Support the #MyHROptOut, and help protect patient's health data.

Great work. This is a fantastic example of the power of social media in connecting people, and giving them a voice. https://t.co/OTtfvQcT7N

Can we please include the rural hospitals in @SafeAirway audit and airway registry?

Our individual numbers in each site are small (< 1000 per annum typically) but we need to demonstrate safety in this remote Australian context ping @KangarooBeach https://t.co/pzjjglc1fG

...and we need specialist Colleges to realise that the experts in rural medicine are - guess what - rural clinicians ! @ACRRM @RACGP @RuralDoctorsAus @PaulWorleySA https://t.co/Ft2GRBew8i
