Survey of SA Rural Doctors - we need your input!

The Rural Doctors Association of South Australia (RDASA) have been granted authorization from the ACCC to enter into discussions with the Department of Health in relation to rural doctors engagement with their local hospitals and their conditions of service.

In 2007 during a country wide consultation process a number of key issues were identified that were of critical concern for country doctors working as visiting medical officers in their hospitals.

During 2009 representatives from the RDASA will be discussing a number of the key issues for country doctors with Country Health SA. We would appreciate rural doctors and practice managers responding to the simple questionnaire to identify and clarify the key issues that need to be progressed with Country Health SA.

Please complete this questionnaire by 11th January.
