We'd all like to live in a world where nothing traumatic happens to children, however....

1. Injury is the leading cause of death of children aged 1 to 16 years in Australia
2. There were 686,409 injury-related hospitalisations, which equates to an age standardised injury hospitalisation rate of 1489 per 100,000 children in Australia.
3. For every severely injured child, there are at least 13 children hospitalised with minor or moderate injuries.
4. Falls (38.4%), most often from playground equipment (8.3%) were the most common injury mechanism.
5. Sporting activities (19.0%) were the most common specified activity performed at the time of the incident.
6. The child’s home (24.5%) was the most common specified place of the incident.
7. Fractures (41.9%) were the most common type of injury.
8. A higher proportion of injured children resided in areas of socioeconomic disadvantage.
9. The rate of hospitalised injury cases was almost twice as high for children in outer regional and remote areas as for Major cities

How you will learn in this RACGP and ACRRM CPD activity

We know you are busy, so we have made it as simple as possible to learn quickly and efficiently.

Watch videos at your preferred speed: slow it down or speed it up. Watch a video in half to two thirds the time of watching a live event.

Take your videos on the go. Listen in the car or watch them while you exercise with our mobile app.

This CPD is designed to be easily consumed and fit your lifestyle.

What is the cost of this RACGP and ACRRM CPD activity?

For many GPs, the true cost of continuing education is the time it takes you away from your family.

If you watch a live webinar, you miss dinner with your loved ones.

Attend a 6 hour conference, miss a day playing with your children.

Even traditional "online" education requires that you sit in your office and watch a screen for several hours.

This is time you will never get back with them.

Your 'Family friendly' learning experience with ArmchairMedical Education will be different.

ArmchairMedical Education is designed with you in mind and designed specifically so you don't take time away from you family.

Every video allows you to chose the speed of playback. With practice you can watch and learn from videos in 2/3 to 1/2 the time of watching a live lecture. So immediately you will save a couple of hours you would have previously spent in a darkened lecture theater.

Secondly all our videos are available on an App, so you can take your learning anywhere.

Choose times when your family are not with you.

Listen to them like podcasts in the car on the way to work.

Jump on your exercise bike or elliptical trainer and watch them while you exercise.

Get your 30 minutes of exercise each day, enjoy your 30 minutes of learning and keep your evenings and weekends free for your family.

In two weeks you will have completed this activity and enjoyed more time with your family...

-  6 hours of education delivered in a family friendly manner -
