Differences in cancer clinical trial activity and trial characteristics at metropolitan and rural trial sites in Victoria, Australia
CONCLUSIONS: In Victoria, 10% of CCTs are at rural sites. Most rural-residing CCT participants travel to metropolitan sites, where there are more late-phase, non-solid-tumour and industry-sponsored trials. Approaches to increase the volume and variety of rural CCTs should be considered.PMID:38629876 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13102 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)

Using the Tasmanian Palliative and End of Life Care Policy Framework (2022) to assess service delivery in a rural general practice
CONCLUSION: Existing frameworks can be used as an implementation and evaluation guide to help understand local palliative care services. Using a Framework, a rural general practice in Tasmania reflected on their provision of palliative care services. Providing holistic palliative care services from a rural general practice is desirable and achievable with a coordinated, team-based approach. Access to and integration with specialist services remains a key component of community-based palliative care pathways.PMID:38624133 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13126 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)

This is why we are staying: Job satisfaction among Physiotherapists in the Kimberley region of Western Australia
CONCLUSION: This study describes the many factors impacting job satisfaction among physiotherapists in a rural and remote location in WA Australia. These factors warrant consideration by organisations interested in improving recruitment and retention in this context. Improving recruitment and retention in physiotherapists in rural and remote Australia has the potential to positively influence health service provision, and therefore improve health outcomes for those living in rural and remote communities.PMID:38572851 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13117 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)

Transforming health care delivery: The role of primary health care nurses in rural and remote Australia
CONCLUSION: Despite growing evidence for the effectiveness of nurse-led models of care, significant policy and financial barriers continue to inhibit PHC nurses working to their full scope of practice. If their potential to transform health care and increase access to health services is to be realised these barriers must be addressed.PMID:38572893 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.13120 (Source: The Australian Journal of Rural Health)
