Is CareFlight just a helicopter medical service?
No. From its inception in 1986 CareFlight has been a medical retrieval and trauma service which has also operated emergency helicopters. NRMA CareFlight has a strong focus on teaching and medical research and has played a major role in the evolution of critical care transport in Australia. We train specialist trauma doctors and senior registrars in critical care in the transport and pre-hospital environment, and CareFlight holds teaching accreditation with the three Critical Care Medical Colleges of Anaesthesia, Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care.
