Allora P-10 Students enjoyed the visit by the RFDS with their Aeromedical Simulator which was fully equipped with flight controls, indicators, communication headsets and two stretcher beds. Once onboard, students undertook an immersive experience as a patient and they could see how the crew operates these units in the sky.
Last year the Simulator travelled over 26,000 kms across Queensland reaching 36,000 people.
The work carried out by the RFDS is invaluable to those living in rural and remote locations.
Each day more than 225 occasions of care were undertaken with more than 12,800 patients transferred via the Aeromedical Service last year.
The RFDS has grown to become Australia’s most reputable charity which is made possible by the generosity of the community through fundraising, donations and bequests.
