Title

Anaesthesia in Australia's top end

Author(s)
Luxford, Jamahal

Abstract
The Royal Darwin Hospital is located in Australia's Northern Territory (NT) on Larrakia land and is the Territory's main tertiary referral centre. It lays 12 degrees south longitude with a monsoonal climate. The principal differences about medical practice in the NT are the high proportion of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander patients and the remote locations often involved.

NT Health Library Services acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout the Northern Territory and recognises their continuing cultural and spiritual connections to the lands, waters, and communities. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the Northern Territory and beyond, many of whom are represented in our collections.
