‘It’s all them, them, them’ isn’t a phrase you’d usually hear. But putting rural needs first in Te Anau made for a special weekend. Our ‘RESCyou – Rural Emergency Skills to you’ FACEM tutors, and all the associated resources and gear, converged in Te Anau last Saturday to provide training to local GPs and Nurses in their own clinical setting.
After a night of rolling thunderstorms, the local team refreshed their skills and knowledge on topics they chose of importance to them. They practiced many skills including intraosseous and guided ultrasound injections – see image below - and how to treat respiratory distress, drowning, and hypothermia.
