Session Description

CANCELLED

Somewhat ironically , the facilitators have each managed to significantly injure their legs in the wilderness… in separate unrelated incidents. Unfortunately they won’t be up for hiking around the bush to plan and run the workshop.  Thankyou so much for your interest, please make sure you check out Dave’s talk about wilderness learning on Thursday morning for a taste of WildEM.

Description: WildEM is an interactive half day outdoor workshop that uses small group activities to teach key Emergency Medicine principles with an emphasis on problem-solving in low resource settings. Teams will navigate between stations in a bush environment and will require lateral thinking and a sense of adventure to succeed.
Participants of all fitness levels and experience are welcomed, however should be aware that clothing appropriate for bushwalking including sturdy shoes, sun protection and raincoat will be required. Please note that adverse weather is likely to be seen as an added challenge rather than a reason to postpone. Previous activities in this much-loved Canberra Hospital run day out have included swift water rescue, a rock climbing trauma, a mass casualty lightning strike and an intoxicated nature lover – what is in store for you? – find out by registering!
