Webinar: When subtle rural presentations need escalation

Presented by Dr Guy Melrose - Urgent Care Physician, Director of Professional Development at the RNZCUC, Professional Teaching Fellow - Auckland University Patients in rural settings don’t always present with obvious red flags. Some serious conditions lurk beneath subtle symptoms, stable observations, or reassuring first impressions.

This webinar explores rural cases that appear low risk but may require escalation. Learn how to recognise hidden warning signs, trust clinical intuition, and make safer escalation decisions when the picture isn’t clear.

Dr Guy Melrose is an urgent care physician and medical educator based in New Zealand. Originally trained in Liverpool, he moved to NZ in 2009.
