Going the Extra Mile
Rural Health Recruitment Resource
Abstract
"The Extra Mile: The Essential Guide for Health Professionals Going Bush" is a text which brings together much of the important information required to work effectively in the rural or remote context. The book helps to address workforce issues and support the transition of health professionals to rural practice.
One of the more difficult challenges in delivering effective, culturally appropriate, and sustainable health services in regional areas is recruiting and retaining the right workforce. It is not uncommon for professionally well- qualified staff to be recruited to regional positions with great hopes and expectations of long tenure, only to have them depart early, sometimes in distress and leaving communities in need.
