A Bus of TROHPIQ’s medicos recently made the circuit to the Wide Bay RCS.  By day they visited the rural clinical schools at Bundaberg and Harvey Bay, touring the facilities and polishing up on their Airway management and Cannulation techniques. They also got a chance to take in the farm life at Scrub Hill Aboriginal Farm. At night students sojourned to Mon Repos turtle rookery and tried to get a few hours of sleep at Kelly’s Beach Resort Bagara.

Everyone had a good time on the trip and we can’t wait till next time.

A Big thanks to our event organisers Christine & Dan  for taking care of the 2012 Wide Bay trip, it wouldn’t of been the same without you. Thanks, also goes out to the staff and students of the Wide Bay RCS for their involvement.
