Referral pathways (TAS - North West)
About The Event
Please note: This event is free to attend and a face-to-face event only. This event will not be livestreamed.
Through collaboration with several allied health services across the North West region of Tasmania, Paramedics have the opportunity to improve their knowledge of the comprehensive services available. Developing an understanding of the referral process will lead to better outcomes for patients. Implementing sound practices to identify and refer patients for the most appropriate services will enhance paramedic capabilities.
