🏆 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗻!

We’re incredibly proud that our ‘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗖𝘆𝗼𝘂 – 𝗥𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂’ team won the Tāmaki Health/Total Healthcare Research and Education Award at the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 | 𝗛𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗵𝘂 𝗠𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶 𝗢𝗿𝗮 on Saturday night.

RESCyou brings high-level, hands-on emergency training directly to rural communities, tailored to local teams, needs and resources. For more than a decade, it has been helping rural clinicians prepare for the moments when every decision matters and specialist support is hours away.

And the impact is real. Clinicians have reported using their RESCyou training to save lives in remote hospitals, manage severe asthma when retrieval was impossible, and introduce new protocols for burns and agitation management.

We’re thrilled to win, but even prouder of what this award represents: stronger rural emergency capability, more confident local clinicians and better access to emergency care for rural communities.

A huge congratulations to 𝗗𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗗𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁, 𝗗𝗿 𝗥𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲, 𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗵, 𝗗𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗶 𝗬𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗻, and 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗲 from Mobile Health Group, and thank you to everyone who has helped make RESCyou what it is today. 💚

For two decades, My Health Hub has supported health professionals across Aotearoa with nearly 159,000 hours of learning, helping build skills, confidence, and better outcomes for patients, whānau, and communities.

We’re incredibly proud of what this programme has achieved, and we continue to be inspired by the thousands of health professionals who have invested in their own growth so they can better serve others. From remote communities to busy rural clinics, you have joined webinars, attended workshops, and shared knowledge with a common goal: delivering the best possible care.

Behind every learning opportunity is the potential to improve a patient experience, strengthen a clinical service, or make a positive difference in someone's health journey. That's why My Health Hub exists and why, after 20 years and nearly 159,000 hours of learning, we're still as committed as ever to supporting the people who care for our communities.

Thank you to the health professionals, presenters, partner organisations, Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora, and the My Health Hub team who have helped make My Health Hub what it is today. The impact of this programme extends far beyond the learning itself, reaching patients, whānau, and communities across Aotearoa every day.

Paediatric sepsis can be difficult to recognise, particularly in its early stages, yet early identification and treatment are critical to improving outcomes. Globally, sepsis contributes to an estimated 4.2 million child deaths each year. In New Zealand, it remains one of the leading causes of childhood mortality.

This webinar will provide an update on paediatric sepsis assessment and management, including the recently introduced paediatric sepsis pathway for use across primary and secondary care.

We are absolutely thrilled to see Dr Peter Freeman named the recipient of the Peter Snow Memorial Award. Presented to him at the recent at the 21st WONCA World Rural Health Conference New Zealand held in Wellington, his nomination recognises his founding leadership of the RESCyou – Rural Emergency Skills Course, and his quiet dedication behind the scenes to craft a bespoke training environment tailored specifically for rural clinicians.

The RESCyou – Rural Emergency Skills Course is an innovative programme that brings high-level emergency training directly to rural doorsteps, offering a hands-on course that empower local clinicians. Peter has invested countless hours into the development and refinement of this programme, ensuring it remains world-class and deeply impactful to all who participate.

For more than a decade, with the rest of the RESCyou team, Peter has delivered 12 courses in 10 rural towns, trained 162 rural clinicians (and counting) and providing 1,296 provider-hours of education – a remarkable contribution given the voluntary nature of their involvement. With an average score of 9.7/10, the feedback is as genuine as it is consistent: 100% of participants report that they now feel ready and capable of performing life-saving emergency skills in high-pressure situations.

But the numbers only tell half the story. The true value lies in the profound sense of empowerment the clinicians carry back to their communities. For a clinician working in a remote area, that shift from uncertainty to confidence is everything. The programme doesn’t just provide data; it’s a leading training ground ensuring rural clinicians no longer just 'cope' with emergencies but lead through them with the skill and confidence their communities deserve.

“Peter is one of those rare clinicians whose technical excellence is matched only by his humility...”

“His passion for improving care in rural areas is not theoretical; it is lived. He brings a clinician’s insight, an educator’s skill, and a rural advocate’s determination to every course. The impact is clear: RESCYou consistently strengthens clinical capability, builds confidence, and improves outcomes for our rural whānau and communities. Many clinicians across Aotearoa attribute their preparedness in emergencies directly to the skills gained through Peter’s teaching.” – 𝐃𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞

“Thanks must go to Mark Eager from Mobile Heath for his vision and support of the Rural skills course. The team have travelled the length of the country from Gore to Kaitaia and soon Great Barrier.”

“Critical to the delivery of customised skills training for rural GPs and nurses has been the generous donation of time and equipment from the emergency medicine faculty…”

“It has been an absolute pleasure to have brought this course to the rural teams and very rewarding to hear such positive feedback. Thank you for this recognition - it means a lot.” – 𝐃𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧

Please join us in celebrating Peter for this remarkable achievement – a truly fitting tribute to his continued dedication and his unwavering advocacy for our rural heartland.

‘It’s all them, them, them’ isn’t a phrase you’d usually hear. But putting rural needs first in Te Anau made for a special weekend. Our ‘RESCyou – Rural Emergency Skills to you’ FACEM tutors, and all the associated resources and gear, converged in Te Anau last Saturday to provide training to local GPs and Nurses in their own clinical setting.

After a night of rolling thunderstorms, the local team refreshed their skills and knowledge on topics they chose of importance to them. They practiced many skills including intraosseous and guided ultrasound injections – see image below - and how to treat respiratory distress, drowning, and hypothermia.
