Working with Retrieval Services: Tips for Rural Registrars

In this episode of RG Life Hacks, Dr Emily Moody speaks with Associate Professor Bill Nimo (emergency medicine and retrieval specialist), Dr Kirsty Devine (neonatologist and neonatal transport specialist), and Dr Marian Dover (Rural Generalist with advanced obstetric skills) about working effectively with retrieval services in rural and remote medicine.

The conversation explores when to call for help, why early contact matters, and how retrieval teams can support registrars through high pressure situations, both clinically and cognitively. They share practical tips on structuring calls, leading with key clinical information, and clearly communicating local context, resources, and limitations.

The episode also highlights the realities of the “tyranny of distance”, the logistics behind retrieval coordination, and the value of having experienced clinicians available for guidance, reassurance, and real time support via phone or video.

This episode is essential listening for registrars who want to build confidence working with retrieval services and managing emergencies in rural and remote settings.
