NSW Rural Doctors Network (RDN) would like to invite you to attend the Inaugural Rural GP VMO Medical Conference which will be held from Friday 1 - Saturday 2 July at The Quarry Restaurant in Cowra.

This conference is a two day education event aimed at addressing the specific educational needs of GP VMOs working in rural hospitals and general practice.

Topics covered are specific to those that need higher level monitoring or management in rural and district hospitals by GP VMOs, with information and advice coming from the specialists regularly referred to.

For people of the rural and remote health sector, the Conference aims to:

inspire and inform;

showcase developments on the ground;

help build interdisciplinary health teamwork – including between Australia and other countries;

engage health consumers with others in the sector;

provide an opportunity for research reports to be delivered by both experienced and early-career researchers;

anticipate developments and issues and help set the sector’s agenda;

promote a stronger awareness of rural and remote health issues in the wider community and among policy makers.

This year’s theme is Passion. Purpose. Influence. Impact.

The aim is to build on our strengths to improve the health and wellbeing of rural and remote Australians, especially for our First Peoples. By sharing experiences, learning together, and inspiring one another, we will foster passion, maintain purpose, build influence, and increase impact.

The CRANAplus Conference provides an opportunity for like-minded remote and isolated health individuals to network, connect and share. It serves as both a professional and social resource for Australia’s Remote and Isolated Health Workforce.

Project ECHO is a free, LIVE INTERACTIVE, online and evidence-based model which places healthcare providers from diverse settings in direct contact with subject matter experts, empowering them to provide best practice care for their local communities. Participation in ECHO involves a commitment to attend LIVE sessions at a set time, and to discuss de-identified cases with colleagues and with the expert panel.
