BREAATHHE


B
ringing Rural Experience and Awareness to Hunter Health Education

                                   

Breaathhe, The University of Newcastle Rural Health Club, consists of 450 members from a range of health disciplines such as; Biomedical Science, Medicine, Nursing, Nutrition & Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Oral Health, Pharmacy, Radiation Sciences, Speech Pathology and Social Work.

 

Breaathhe holds many social and educational events throughout the year. Some of these include; Skills Nights (offering practice in suturing, CPR, plastering, cannulation and venepuncture), Welcome Cruise, First Aid Course, weekend trips to UDRH Rural Areas.   The club also helps fund students to attend rural Conferences throughout Australia.
 

Breaathhe values their collaboration with other health clubs at the university, such as Medsoc and the GP Club, and  co-presents events such as the Skills nights and Speaker nights and co-sponsors students to conferences.  Breaathhe also values the networking opportunities, guidance, advice and contributions offered by the academics, local hospital and health professionals and local GPs who actively support our club.

 

Breaathhe’s objective is summed up by its name…

 

The University of Newcastle offers a Rural and Remote Admissions Scheme for entry to B Medicine from 2007.  Breaathhe is an important support network for these rural students. 

 

For further information and to view a calendar of our proposed events, please visit  contact Breaathhe’s NRHSN Senior Representative Greer Stevens or club administrator Briony Bissett.  The BREAATHHE website is also currently being re-developed.
