...and we need specialist Colleges to realise that the experts in rural medicine are - guess what - rural clinicians ! ACRRM RACGP RDAA Paul Worley x.com/dr_polarbird/s…

Can we please include the rural hospitals in Safe Airway Society 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 Tim Leeuwenburg x.com/NicholasChrime…

Great work. This is a fantastic example of the power of social media in connecting people, and giving them a voice. x.com/KangarooBeach/…

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.

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. #AYRI2018 x.com/Fly_texan/stat…

Excellent news - participants in ANZCA CPD and RACGP ACRRM GPAs can claim ETM Course for the ‘Major Haemorrhage’ emergency response component of their CPD

Gosh this looks hard! SALAD trainer from Tim Leeuwenburg and managing the ‘challenging’ airway. #emsa18 Mary is a legend! Sally Neumann/Tucker Carla Zampatti

Mike Ray is our hero! He has been amazing at integrating GoodSAM in Ambulance Victoria - thanks for all your work Mike!

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

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.

The team at HeartSAFE KI (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 facebook.com/heartsafeKI/

I thought they all were!

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

The elusive GP-anaesthetist - mostly working where they trained to i.e. in the rural areas. Thanks ACRRM for supporting the Rural Anaesthesia Australia project and supplying data to inform ACRRM ANZCA RACGP on future of rural anaesthesia #rma18

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

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 Not ScoMo to legislate minimum staffing ratios.
