Doctors in secondary schools program: the first year of program implementation in a rural Victorian school.

CONCLUSION: The role of the practice nurse has been instrumental in providing a needs-based service for students, connecting to local and regional health and community services. Adolescents in rural areas require holistic primary care including provision of resources, basic wellbeing needs and advocacy. Programs to support rural adolescents should be integrated across the strengths and opportunities that exist in each unique context. PMID: 31766852 [PubMed - in process]
