Rural Health Webinar Series - Remember that patient you saw the other day...? Misses and traps in emergency presentations

On-demand recorded 6 Apr 2023

This instalment of the rural health webinar series will explore emergency signs and symptoms that are easily missed. Through discussion of such cases, GP participants will be better equipped to identify and manage these tricky presentations. 

This webinar will be facilitated by Dr Geoff Couser, an emergency physician at the Royal Hobart Hospital who has interests in medical education and low value care. Dr Couser developed emergency medicine as a discipline at the University of Tasmania and is the clinical lead for Choosing Wisely for the Tasmanian Health Service.
