OVERVIEW

Rural Emergency Obstetric Training (REOT) 2026 is organized by Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) and will be held on Feb 18, 2026 at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Description:
The redeveloped Rural Emergency Obstetric Training (REOT) course equips rural and remote clinicians with the practical skills, confidence, and structured approaches needed to manage maternity and neonatal emergencies.

Through a blend of 8 hours of interactive online pre-learning and an intensive one-day face-to-face workshop, participants will gain hands-on experience in managing obstetric emergencies, responding to complications in late pregnancy and labour and performing Neonatal Resuscitation for First Responders in line with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines.

Designed specifically for the realities of rural and remote practice, the course strengthens clinical decision-making, teamwork, and communication during high-pressure maternity scenarios. Participants will leave feeling confident to identify risks early, respond to emergencies effectively, and provide safe, coordinated care for mothers and newborns.

Participants will gain certification in Maternity Emergencies and Neonatal Resuscitation for First Responders as defined by the guidelines of the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) with eligibility for MOPS and RPGP grants.
