Goldfields UDRH Project Officer, Steph Bloor, and Curtin’s Deputy Head of School (Allied Health), Peter Gardner, joined a group of 35 participants from 15 University Departments of Rural Health for the Longitudinal Integrated Placement Workshop in Broken Hill. Hosted by the Australian Rural Health Education Network (AHREN) and Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health, the dynamic and engaging two-day seminar focused on exchanging ideas and best practices for designing and implementing longitudinal integrated placements.
It was inspiring to hear firsthand the innovative approaches other UDRHs are taking, to share experiences, and gather feedback from both students and service providers. The seminar also provided a valuable opportunity to make new connections and strengthen collaboration across the Australian UDRH network.
We are looking forward to continuing these conversations, collaborating with our colleagues nationwide, and implementing our new ideas to enhance the work we do here in the Goldfields.
