FULLY BOOKED: Country Practice Retreat for Rural GPs May 2019

May18
Stamford Grand, Moseley Square, Glenelg

THIS RETREAT IS FULLY BOOKED - HOWEVER WE HAVE PLACES STILL AVAILABLE AT OUR JULY RETREAT - DETAILS HERE.

The format is similar to the highly acclaimed rural retreats originally conducted by Rural Doctors Workforce Agency. This Doctors' Health SA Country Practice Retreat is supported by a Grant from Country SA PHN and we have engaged original facilitators from ThinkWell, Mr Hugh Kearns, to lead this workshop in May 2019.

The program has been rigorously evaluated and the results show that over 80% of rural doctors who have attended have made significant and lasting changes in their life.

Rural Doctors attending this Retreat will:

· discover that they have choices which ultimately influence their quality of life

· make decisions about what they would like to change to improve their lives as rural GPs

· develop strategies (including time management, communication, self-talk, self-awareness, saying no, dealing with -perfectionism etc) to assist with change

· deal with obstacles or barriers to change, including internal (self-talk, high expectations, perfectionism) and external (workload, others’ demands, lack of resources, financial and family pressures) barriers

· network with other rural doctors and share strategies for dealing with the challenges of rural practice

The Retreat will run over 1 and half days, 18th & 19th May 2019, starting at 9am on the Saturday morning and concluding 12noon on the Sunday.

There is no registration fee thanks to the Country SA PHN Grant and some financial support is available for accommodation. Doctors’ Health SA encourages rural doctors to bring their families for the weekend as well.

(If you cannot come along in May, we have a July Retreat too - view that seminar here)

**To ensure the full impact of the program numbers are limited to 10 rural doctor participants.
