Female Practitioners
RDAA has a special interest group for women practising in Rural and Remote areas- the Female Doctors Group. Meetings are generally held by teleconference and any female RDAV member is welcome to join the group.
The Female Doctors Group has representatives from all states and territories, and while many of the isssues discussed are the same as those which concern our male colleagues, the approach to solutions is sometimes different!
Particular FDG projects in progress at present are- " Working Safe in Rural Areas"- a project involving doctors and other professionals such as teachers, police, nursing staff, working in rural areas. The project has involved a survey to establish the extent of the problem, as well as discussions around solutions to make work safer for all professionals in rural areas.
"I wish somebody had told me...." – is a workshop facilitated by the FDG at the ACRRM/RDAA annual conference to discuss some of the pitfalls of rural general practice, in particular regard to practice management.
RDAA organises an annual breakfast with Federal Politicians at Parliament House Canberra, which is followed by a FDG meeting with individual female politicians from all parties.
