Designed by Rural Generalists, the Advanced Life Support Level 2 (ALS2) course was created to meet the needs of rural doctors to support and enable them to exceed the standards set by the Australian Resuscitation Council. This two-day course provides you with the knowledge and skills to demonstrate your competency and improve your confidence in leading and managing Advanced Life Support presentations in rural clinical settings.The first component of the course is self-directed online learning and is designed to refresh and reinforce ALS guidelines, update new recommendations and evidence, and review the pharmacology and relevant pathophysiology components required to succeed in the course. The online modules will take approximately one day to complete.The second part of the course is delivered face-to-face. This training focuses on reinforcing your experience and knowledge by applying the online learning content and contextualising it to the rural environment. Delivered in a peer-to-peer learning environment, the one-day face-to-face training allows you to work with facilitators and other participants on a variety of real-world scenarios to demonstrate competency.

This education discusses the most common form of delirium that is seen particularly in hospitalised elderly patients. It aims to assist GP in recognising that delirium is a presenting feature of many medical conditions such as infections, electrolyte imbalances and adverse medication effects amongst others. In many cases, these issues overlap substantially. Any older patient presenting with the clinical features of delirium outlined below should alert GPs to an underlying condition.

"Is your patient fit2fly?" is a course on aviation medicine and the medical conditions that are impacted by altitude.This course addresses a poorly understood component of medicine. By completing this course, clinicians are providedwith additional education to be able to provide a higher level of care to their patients who may have a medical condition that can be impacted by air travel. It is a skills and knowledge development course, and aims to increase clinical decision making or at least consider it as a potential risk in certain medical conditions. It provides knowlegde and skills which allows the clinician to practise safely and effectively ensuring that the aviation medicine context is considered for patients with certain medical conditions impacted by altitude and air travel, acting as a risk mitigator. It is particularly relevant for the GP generalist working in remote and regional areas of Australia due to the significant volume of medical movement for patients between tertiary and regional medical facilities by commercial air transport.

In this practical and engaging recorded presentation from the Northern Rivers Melanoma Specialists’ Update, Skin Cancer GP A/Prof Paul Fishburn and Pathologist Dr Alexandra Currie explore how dermoscopy and dermatopathology work together to improve skin cancer diagnosis. In the first presentation, A/Prof Fishburn covers core principles of dermoscopy, including pattern recognition, the “Chaos and Clues” approach and key features of both pigmented and non-pigmented lesions. Special attention is given to challenging clinical scenarios and high-risk anatomical sites. Dr Currie then explains how dermoscopic findings correlate with histopathology and highlights what clinicians should include on pathology requests to support accurate diagnosis. The presentations conclude with case study discussions demonstrating dermoscopic histopathological correlation.
