Vic speaks with Ben and two special guests about their recent papers on ‘outreach simulation’, and how they used educational courses on Paediatric resuscitation around rural and regional Qld to understand system challenges faced by these sites. The conversation illustrates the importance of program philosophy, long term relationships and systematic approaches to identifying and following up system challenges.
