Aeromedical Retrieval of people with Acute Behavioural Disturbance in Queensland – ELEVATE Study
Kris McBain-Rigg - PHTM - Tropical Health
01 Jan 2023 - 31 Dec 2025
The aeromedical retrieval of people with Acute Behavioural Disturbance is a challenging process for a vulnerable group of patients. Due to the nature of the persons illness, the balance between providing timely access to care and risks during transfer is complex. This project aims to use a mixed methods approach to explore this patient group and the perceived challenges of their aeromedical retrieval, test current practice, identify areas for improvement and assess methods of optimising care provided before, during, and after transfer.
