John is loving his road trips - visiting his favourite places - and doing what he loves - being a rural GP. Thank you to Granite Belt Medical Services in Stanthorpe for hosting us for the latest GPs4RuralDocs clinic. Thank you also to those GPs and health practitioners who took the opportunity to see John and to look after yourself. It is so important we keep our medical workers healthy. If you have not checked out John's video, take a look here. https://lnkd.in/gjkX9bET

About us
Rural Doctors Foundation is a rural health charity. We exist in order to give more communities in rural and remote regions better access to lifesaving healthcare. As rural doctors and community members, we care deeply about the places where we live and work. From the remotest outback regions to pristine coastal areas and bustling rural farming districts. Together, we’re creating meaningful changes that give people a better chance at health in our regions. Our rural health charity creates change at the local level. Working on projects that directly help rural and remote communities improve the health. The people we serve in rural and remote communities have unique needs. Rural Doctors Foundation recognises the diverse health needs of all people that make up rural and remote regions. Our work supports First Nations health and the vibrancy of Indigenous communities. As well as farming communities, and regional townships. So, it’s about working with remote and rural people, on the ground, to deliver the right support, in the right way. While offering financial assistance and health initiatives that provide cutting-edge solutions. Solutions that can make a big impact to quality of health, and life.

As we celebrate National Agriculture Week, we thank those who work the land in some of the most remote areas in Australia, providing the food for our tables. We rely on our farmers and we want to ensure they stay safe. Dr Adam Coltzau sees first hand the impact of farm accidents on a family and a community. He shares some thoughts on Farm Safety and we provide startling statistics from the latest FarmSafe Report. https://lnkd.in/gZyR-JTD Thank you to all our farmers. Stay safe!

On Remembrance Day, we honour those who have served in war and those who have made the pledge to defend their country. We acknowledge those who travelled from rural and remote communities to answer the call to serve. We thank those with medical training who used their skills to ease the suffering of those on the battlefield, and when they returned home. Today, we share the story of Dr Michael Clements, who served as a doctor in the Australian Defence Force. Read Michael's story here. https://lnkd.in/gbE8xyY9 #remembranceday We thank and honour all those who have served their country.

Our rural doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals are the backbone of our rural towns, yet often their only option for receiving healthcare is from a colleague, friend or even their boss. How comfortable would you feel in this situation? At Rural Doctors Foundation, we care for the rural doctors and nurses that care for you. Help us to keep our doctors and nurses in our rural towns, where they are needed. Help us care for them so they can keep caring for you. Will you help us to support the health of our rural communities in need across Australia? Without healthy doctors and nurses, we don’t have healthy rural communities. Donate today at https://lnkd.in/gv3mvYvt
