摘要:
ABSTRACT:The saddest feature of rural medicine is the continuous loss of trained doctors from the bush. The rural medical workforce depends on the recruitment, training and retention of medical practitioners. While considerable funding and research effort has been directed to recruitment and training, minimal attention seems to have been paid to the retention of medical practitioners by either researchers or governments. The effectiveness of the major efforts of universities, governments and organizations of rural doctors to improve the medical workforce through recruitment and training is set at risk by high rates of attrition. Regrettably there is a dearth of literature on the retention of rural doctors. This paper seeks to review the literature to identify significant factors causing doctors to leave rural practice and to stimulate a search for solutions.

摘要:
ABSTRACT:The laryngeal mask airway is a new general purpose airway that has revolutionized anaesthetic practice and has a potential role in emergency airway management, including neonatal resuscitation. It fills a niche between the face mask and tracheal tube and sits in the hypopharynx where it forms a circumferential low pressure seal around the glottis. All doctors involved in emergency airway management should have an understanding of the device and acquire skills in its use.

摘要:
ABSTRACT:This paper describes the nursing involvement in the University of Sydney Rural Careers Project. Funded by the Rural Health Support Education and Training (RHSET) programme, the project was initiated to stimulate the awareness of undergraduate healthcare students to the professional opportunities within the rural setting. During 2 years of operation meetings have been convened for interested students to learn about working and living conditions in a rural community. Speakers from a variety of healthcare settings have provided a wide range of insights into rural working and social conditions. Scholarships are offered to cover travel and accommodation costs for students to attend placements in rural areas and annual excursions to rural communities provide students with experience of rural life and health‐care practice. Although the limitations of such activities are acknowledged, it is believed that students who have several positive experiences of rural professional life may be more likely to try a longer period after graduatio

摘要:
ABSTRACT:The objective of this study was to examine the frequency, nature, management and outcomes of life‐threatening emergencies in rural general practice in the Hunter region of Australia in order to help assess the need for training in, and provision of, emergency medical services. Emergencies seen by 18 rural general practitioners over a period of 1 month in 1988 in four different towns in the Hunter region are described. All emergency and after hours attendances during the study period were recorded by the doctors at the time. A measurement of severity validated against the opinion of specialists in appropriate fields was applied for each case. This paper undertakes detailed analysis of data for those patients with life‐threatening illness. Of the total of 1196 emergency attendances recorded, very urgent problems comprised 2.3% and life‐threatening problems comprised 6.1%. These 59 patients had a wide range of diagnoses, the most common being cardiovascular disease, abdominal pain and respiratory distress. The rural doctors treating the patients required a large range of skills, not normally needed by city general practitioners. It was concluded that severe emergencies occur frequently in rural practice and involve a wide range of diagnoses, the most common being medical problems such as cardiovascular disease. Rural doctors require adequate facilities and special skills in emergency medicine to treat these p
