Inaugural Retrieval Inter-Hospital Training Day

New retrieval doctors at Lismore Base Hospital have started an intense training journey. Following a week of  pre-hospital training in Sydney, it was time for them to sharpen their inter-hospital skills, simulating the critical care emergencies that the doctor/critical care paramedic team faces.

Using our Simulation Centre, the new doctors were immersed in intensive scenarios that offered a valuable opportunity to hone their skills and familiarize themselves with the latest equipment through hands-on practice with a mannequin.

Their next destination is flight training, followed by six months working in the Rescue Helicopter and Retrieval ambulance units.
