From a strong field of applicants, Tina Kendrick, a Clinical Nurse Consultant at NETS (NSW), was selected as the 2024 recipient. Tina used her scholarship to attend the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) in Rome in June, where she presented to a plenary session on “Characteristics and Management of Australian Infants with Bronchiolitis Requiring Medical Retrieval: A Data Linkage Study”. The work is part of Tina’s PhD research.
TM5560 Foundations of Aeromedical Retrieval, James Cook University, semester 1, 2021. “In 2019/20 I had the opportunity to spend 18 months working in Africa with Arusha Medivac, Tanzania’s only dedicated air ambulance service. I chose this course to improve my knowledge base so that I am better equipped to mentor my Tanzanian colleagues in aeromedical and pre-hospital medicine.”
The CCAT Foundation Course, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK, 21 to 25 August 2017. “I chose this course primarily to see what the content of the course was and to then use this knowledge to improve the existing education program for my service and my retrieval colleagues nationally.”
Join the Society as a private member to be eligible for the next round.
