This webinar will introduce the diversity of systems of Pre-Hospital and Retrieval Medicine Network across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. For those new or interested in PHRM, this will give you context to understand pre-hospital, inter-hospital and transport options across the Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. For those studying the Associateship of PHRM, it will provide a broader context for questions and approaches taken by other candidates and examiners.
Each state, territory and nation have variability in the approach to PHRM in their region – from coordination and tasking to team composition, base location and modes of transport. The team from the PHRM Network will outline and describe these systems to provide a foundation for the work the network is planning over the next few years in support of patients, clinicians and management teams.
We will round out this first event with an opportunity to engage with the Network Executive, and your PHRM colleagues, around the future of the ACEM PHRM Network and how it can best support you, your teams, and ultimately your patients.
