A basic one we use over here in NZ is a simple one..

DR - ABC

Danger
Response
Airway
Breathing
Circulation and Control life threatening bleeding

It aims to cover the primary survey.
Hope this helps.

Also, Jake Fireman brings up a few good mnemonics.
SAMPLE, PQRST and AVPU are also used in NZ.

Jake,

I am curious to know what the BELLSRP and DERM mnemonics are.
We do not use them over here and I am just wondering what they stand for.
