Royal
Flying Doctor Service - Queensland The Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (Queensland Section) is a highly professional and technologically advanced organisation and is a major provider of emergency aeromedical and primary health care in Queensland. The RFDS presently has seven Bases in Queensland - Cairns, Mount Isa, Charleville, Rockhampton, Townsville, Brisbane and Bundaberg. These Bases form a strategic network that facilitates the effective and efficient delivery of health care throughout the state. In Queensland alone the RFDS conducts over 48, 500 patient consultations per year. While emergency aeromedical retrieval remains a primary duty of the RFDS, the RFDS also provides primary health care to thousands of people living in isolated regions of Queensland. The RFDS Queensland Section employs a total of 166 staff members, including 18 Doctors, 28 Nurses, 4 Allied Health Professionals, 18 Women’s Health GP’s, and 27 Pilots who fly a fleet of 10 aircraft. This includes 7 Beechcraft Super Kingair B200's and 3 Pilatus PC12 aircraft. The Super Kingair, is mainly used for emergency retrieval work, is capable of speeds of up to 500km/hr and has a range of 1500km, with a pilot, medical team and two patients on board. The Pilatus PC12 is of similar size and range to the Super Kingair and is capable of speeds of nearly 500km/hr. The Pilatus PC12 is however significantly cheaper to operate. All RFDS aircraft are pressurised, enabling patients to be flown at the equivalent of sea level - an essential requirement in the treatment of many serious injuries. Neonatal transport incubators can also be carried as required. |
