In this episode, we talk to health practitioners who work in rural and remote areas. Pharmacist Hannah Mann, podiatrist Amy Nelson and optometrist Lauren Hutchinson talk to host Tash Miles about this important and unique part of the Australian health landscape. We hear about some of the benefits and challenges faced by patients and practitioners in rural and remote areas of our country.
Each of the three practitioners emphasise the role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners in ensuring safe care for their patients, and also tell stories of memorable and rewarding experiences in their roles. Join us for a glimpse into the life of practitioners who work on the road, in the clinic and everywhere in between to deliver health care to some of our most vulnerable, and special, communities.
