Rural, regional and remote child-health inequities — branching viva

Opening

Examiner: A rural ED rings you about a febrile infant with delayed capillary refill. Distance to paediatrics is hours. How do you structure the first minute of the call? ^[6]

Candidate model: Confirm identity and location; threat scan (airway, breathing, circulation, consciousness, glucose); local capability inventory; concurrent advice to treat and activate retrieval early if trajectory or capacity is unsafe; prefer video if available. ^{[6] [14] [26]}
