The ECT4Health newest Emergency Nursing refresher for those working in rural or remote areas is an eclectic mix of emergency presentations from mass triage, to initial trauma and shock/haemorrhage assessment and management, to cardiac related chest pain, respiratory emergencies and diabetic emergencies.

The ECT4Health Acute Deteriorating Patient Seminar is a two day program which overviews the assessment and management of patients with a range of presentations that represent acute deterioration.

The ECT4Health Suturing for Health Professionals workshop is ideal for nurses, doctors and students wishing to learn or refresh the suturing techniques for closure of lacerations. 

The ECT4Health Plastering, Casting and Slabbing workshop is a full day hands-on practical seminar on the assessment of limb injuries and the application of plaster of paris (POP) slabs.

Advanced Life support (ALS) certification is  highly sought after. It remains a competency required by many nurses, paramedics and medical staff.  This program is a mixed mode program built on ARC/ANZCOR guidelines. It builds on Basic CPR and the automated use of a defibrillator that the annual BLS program offers. The ALS course is recognised by State, private and nursing agencies in Australia.  

ECT4Health’s Assessment Skills workshop (ASW) is a great new practical hands-on workshop held over three days.  Many nurses working in acute ambulatory settings require Triage skills which mandates sharp initial assessment skills.  

ECT4Health has designed a 5-day program to prepare you for some of the challenges of working in rural and remote locations and aims to provide you with the confidence to explore these work opportunities.
