Thank you Nola for all your dedication and strong advocacy for rural health over many years. @RuralDocsVIC @RuralDoctorsAus #VRHC22

We are sad to hear of the resignation of Dr Nola Maxfield. Hon Martin Foley provided a lovely acknowledgment of Nola’s time as a rural doc and we are happy to celebrate her service with RDAV this weekend. @RuralDoctorsAus #VRHC22

Despite COVID's constant disruptions, challenging workloads, additional time and costs to our local health system, the pandemic has created opportunities. As CEO, I’m proud of the work we and partners have achieved this year, evidenced in our annual report https://t.co/Rq7Ztheuv2

Rural health needs drastic and urgent reform. “One system” approach needs to recognise that ability to build local solutions needs support for regional coordination, funding reform and local co-design @CHFofAustralia @NRHAlliance @GregHuntMP
