The Townsville workshop last month was by far the biggest in the relatively short history of the Remote Vocational Training Scheme. Logistically more than 70 travel itineraries were organised. Thirty-one registrars and 11 supervisors attended the five-day workshop and a review of evaluations suggests the program mix was near perfect.
It was an intensive five days that included, among others, sessions on radiology, Aboriginal health, retrieval medicine, regional anaesthesia and sports medicine. There was also a rare opportunity for relaxation during the week however those that chose the sailing option on our activities morning were left a little worse for wear. Those rolling seas really do turn the gills green.
