Aeromedical Retrieval Registrar

Aeromedical Retrieval Registrars assist staffing a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week medical retrieval service for critically ill patients requiring hospital transfer both intra- and interstate on a call out basis. When not actively retrieving the Retrieval Registrar is based in the Launceston General Hospital (LGH) Intensive Care Unit performing the duties of an ICU Registrar. (By negotiation Retrieval Registrars may also be based in the LGH Department of Emergency Medicine).

We are accredited as a general training unit (C12 pre-2014) by CICM and for completion of the ICU requirement of training for both ACEM and ANZCA trainees. Time in our unit also counts a Rural Exposure for CICM. Our trainees gain exposure to a wide range of investigations, interventions, and procedures. We also offer a weekly teaching program including formal ICU teaching and ICU skills session, weekly echocardiography training, a regular Journal Club, support for trainees preparing primary and fellowship exams, a monthly Morbidity and Mortality meeting, research grants available, opportunities to complete rotations in Anaesthesia, Medicine and Emergency Medicine.
