ACRRM’s popular Clinical Guidelines for Mobile Devices provide rural doctors with a handheld decision support tool, accessible within two minutes at point of contact with the patient, to guide immediate clinical management.

They are available for download to all mobile device operating systems (with touch screens) as well as computers, laptops, tablets and iPads by using the iSilo^TM software.

The latest edition (December 2012) of the guidelines includes new and amended guidelines in most disciplines. A new feature for registrars and medical educators is the hyperlinks from the ACRRM Advanced Specialised Training Curricula to the guidelines. These make it easy to locate the guideline that best refers to the instructional objectives and required abilities and skills of each curriculum. There is also a list of RRMEO modules relevant to each of the AST curricula.
