Target Audience

This presentation was composed for the CME event "Continuing Education and the Rural Anaesthetist" and is particularly relevant to those who have perhaps had a look at 'the net' but not yet been able to find anything useful to do with it. Whilst the presentation is titled 'Rural' in cyberspace there is of course no distinction between rural and metropolitan so the basic principles shown here apply to both.
