The project aims derive from increasing concerns that recruitment and retention of high quality health care personnel to remote rural areas is becoming more difficult and more expensive. As these concerns increase the confidence that remote rural area inhabitants have that their health care needs will be met is undermined; putting the very survival of the fragile communities at risk. Based on this the project aim is to seek solutions to the burgeoning difficulties of recruitment and retention of a high quality, sustainable health care workforce for remote and rural areas.
The work will be connected to the work at urban centres. The collaboration between practices in rural areas and urban centres will develop products and services which will increase the possibilities to recruit relevant qualified workforce and improve the quality of work and the diversification of work in practices in rural areas.
