Emergency care
In the event of accidents or medical emergencies immediate medical assistance is vital.
TeleDr Private Hospital Emergency care number (1800 TeleDr) provides
- access to 24 hour private emergency hospital doctors
- on site pre-hospital emergency assistance

Many remote sites are legally required to have access to 24 hour care. Medical Emergency Response Time standards have been developed to reduce risks (see table)
- 4 minutes to a first aider to give CPR,
- 1 hour to a nurse/paramedic (the golden hour), and
- 4 hours to a hospital doctor, (for surgery or to unblock the clot in a heart attack)
TeleDr supports your remote staff to meet industry standards and legal requirements.
