5:00 reading, then 10:00 in the station, as on the day. Patients, relatives and examiners are played by an AI so you can practise alone, or a colleague runs the station with the script, the findings and the marking sheet.

Ute rollover with haemorrhagic shock: stabilising while retrieval is three hours away
You are the only doctor on call at Mulga Springs Hospital (12 beds, two nurses overnight, X-ray, point-of-care blood gas, two units of O-negative red cells, no CT, no surgeon). At 2300 a volunteer ambulance brings in Jack, a 34-year-old station hand whose ute rolled on a dirt road 80 km out of town about 90 minutes ago. He was found walking around but is now pale and breathless, complaining of right chest and pelvic pain. The examiner will ask you three questions and give you further information as the scenario unfolds.
- Describe your immediate assessment and management in the first 15 minutes.
- Manage the deterioration the examiner describes while you wait for retrieval.
- Hand over to the retrieval team and look after the people around the patient.
