These mobile, evidence-based programs are designed to assist participants across regional, rural and remote communities better diagnose and treat seriously ill and injured infants and children who are a long way from hospital and the health care they need.
CareFlight’s Sick and Injured Kids in the Bush course is for clinicians and the Infant Care Workshop is for new parents and carers who may not have had the opportunity to do first aid before.
The program will be held at Yarrawonga Health on November 26 and NCN Health in Nathalia and Cobram on November 27.
Thanks to funding from generous donors, the aeromedical charity will be hosting free workshops throughout Victoria for the remainder of 2025 to equip new parents and carers as well as professionals including registered nurses, emergency nurses, paramedics and doctors, with essential life-saving skills to manage common infant health concerns and emergencies.
Committed to investing in long-term solutions and community education, the workshops will cover topics including paediatric assessment, fluids for kids, intraosseous insertions, cardiac arrest, neonatal resuscitation and paediatric trauma simulation.
Each workshop is delivered by a team of highly skilled doctors, nurses and paramedics who are passionate about building capacity in communities to ensure paediatric patients are given the best possible chance of recovery.
