Rural communities play a central role in building capacity to improve health outcomes for groups encountering health challenges in regional Australia. Rural and remote areas cope with issues around funding, attracting and retaining medical professionals, particularly general practitioners (GPs), ensuring adequate healthcare access within rural and remote communities and facilitating educational pathways for students interested in studying rural healthcare across diverse, widely spread areas.
In a discussion led by UNSW Medicine & Health Dean, Professor Cheryl Jones, experts from across the regional health landscape will analyse effective strategies, identify areas for improvement in the sector, explore how to enhance community support, and how community-led initiatives can create impact to improve health in remote regions.
