Rural Health Webinar Series - Fracture Management

On-demand recorded 3 Nov 2022

This instalment of the Rural Health Webinar Series is designed to provide rural and remote GPs with information on how to identify, manage and treat fracture in clinic. It will lay the groundwork for the development of skillsets and systems to enable rural GPs to manage simple fractures. The talk is based on the report from the pilot site for the Queensland (Qld) Health Primary Care Fracture Clinic (PCFC). It will include discussion of system design by Health Operations Consultant Kerron Bromfield, fracture management by Dr John Adie and Emergency Physician Dr Sylvia Starkey, x-rays by Lumus Radiology and plastering by Essity.

This webinar will be facilitated by Adjunct Associate Professor John Adie (UniSC), FACRRM, FRACGP, FRNZCUC. John is the Australian Convenor for the RNZCUC, has been a rural General Practitioner in the Barossa Valley and led the pilot sight that the Qld Health PCFC was written about.
