Some stiff competition in the race to win a @sandpiperaus bag at @acrrm #RMA22

..and still more docs in the running for a chance to win a @sandpiperaus bag @acrrm #rma22 bag

Moist of all, thanks to Rural Doctors Foundation foundation who have recently sponsored five fully-equipped bags for trained-regs and are looking to help develop local responder schemes in remote Oz

not forgetting our friends who work for retreival services such as Central Australian Retrieval Service or @RFDS_CO_EGMMRS etc

A visionary Doctor I know introduced a roster wherein FACEMs & Emergency Adv Trainees had to do 1day/month in a smaller rural hospitals of the network. The effect was rapid. No requests for transfer denied. Camaraderie & respect for rural peers grew. #MedTwitter ACEM President

This makes so much sense. Trying to establish a similar model at Echuca ED… it makes a huge difference…#Collaboration #Respect
