hi,
i'm about to head out into the australian bush for 2 months on a remote indigenous community, in the middle of the tanami desert.
i have never done this before! the basic set up is this: 4 nurses, running clinics 7 days a week, then oncall over night. there are no hospital beds, if they need a hospital, the royal flying doctors come and get them. there is a GP present for 4 days a week, but then flies out into the town (6 hours drive away)
this concept both excites, and terrifies me. i come from working in a well organised capital city tertiary hospital.
has anyone worked in such a place? what advice can you give me?
i have learned suturing, will learn plastering.
