Their specific goal is to provide and to be recognised as providing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with high quality, appropriate, efficient and effective primary health care and related services.

AJUM August issue out now
|

AJUM August issue may just challenge your thinking! Have you ever considered what a pilot and clinician have in common? Is a ‘normal’ abdominal report from a sonographer sufficient for patient care?
POCUS for Crohn’s disease – does minimum training result in quality health outcomes? and the use of simulation in ultrasound education – where is the biggest impact? Inspiration for your research journey as you consider the review of ultrasound parameters in carpal tunnel syndrome.
