Rural and remote Practice: the opportunities and rewards
In this edition, Dr Emily Moody interviews:
- Anne Chater, who established Theodore Medical with her husband Prof Alan Bruce Chater in 1981, and is currently the Operations and Finance Manager of the practice. Anne talks about the incredible opportunities available in rural Practice and how to integrate both yourself and your family into a community.
- Sandra Corfield, who has been the CEO of the Central Queensland Rural Division of General Practice and then Rural Health Management Services, which works to support members, develop primary care infrastructure and currently manages fourteen general practices. Sandra has been described as having an encyclopaedic knowledge of rural and remote Queensland matters especially, and Queensland health matters generally. Sandra shares motivating stories about the incredible value the rural GP’s add to the fabric of communities.
Both these ladies have inspirational stories and anyone looking to work in rural or remote communities should listen in. As Anne says "I want to do it all again!"
