Highlighted Session

Transport Session on Saturday 13 March, ”Trip Wired”

The transfer of patients is an inevitable part of rural hospital practice. The outcome for patients could be improved through better resourcing of rural hospitals and education for staff, improved communication with transport services and with base hospital specialists, and involvement in the development of regionalised transport protocols.  A panel will discuss the challenges, opportunities and issues surrounding rural transport.
