Emergency Life Support Course for Urban GPs
Are you an urban GP, living and working in NSW who would like to work as a rural locum but feel your emergency medicine skills need 'fine tuning'?
The Urban/Rural Locum Initiative is a joint program of the NSW Rural Doctors Network (RDN) and Balmain Hospital General Practice Casualty (GPC). The program provides urban GPs with upskilling or training to broaden their range of clinical and procedural skills and enables GPs to confidently work in general practice casualty, rural general practice including locum work, and other clinical specialties. The training involves an Emergency Life Support Course (ELS), casual employment with the GPC for a training period and casual employment in additional clinical attachment/s for a time period if indicated.
In return, the participant GP provides up to four weeks of paid locum service in rural NSW, to be arranged within two years at places indicated by RDN at a mutually convenient time. The RDN locum service provides coverage for GP practices in rural and remote locations in RRMA 4 -7. GPs receives the current salary and conditions offered to casual rural locums by the RDN.
