Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine

There's lots of health needs and particularly in a town like that where they hadn't had a regular doctor for quite a while, there were lots of things to try and catch up on.

President of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine, Dr Rod Martin, knows the role well.

He filled in as a locum for two weeks in town and says the workload was intense.

It's a relatively busy hospital in a mining town so it's certainly got plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong but also an ageing population as well.

We appreciate your feedback and any suggestions you have.

Also, please note that Spot Diagnosis is eligible for RACGP and ACRRM CPD points.
