“In my opinion current training/ curriculum do not provide
the necessary skills to work in truly remote environments where you may need to care for a variety of illness/ injury/ situations for extended periods of time with little/ no support.
Skills need to include advanced diagnosis and treatment, extended care, primary care, aero medical evacuation, crisis and emergency management, occupational hygiene and health, tropical/ exotic disease diagnosis and treatment, aspects of tactical medicine, rescue, training, OHS, cultural and community awareness, advanced pharmacology, telemedicine and so on.”

“Treating patients that are delivered in 15minutes to 1 hour to an ED, differs greatly in management to patients you must stabilise for hours, perhaps days via telemedicine. There is huge knowledge gap and a course similar to the UK offshore medic course would be beneficial.”
