In this episode, host Dr Sean Stevens welcomes Dr Michael Clements and Dr Kaylene Girgenti to discuss the practicalities and benefits of rural GP outreach. Dr Girgenti is a GP obstetrician with a unique practice split between Townsville and remote Karoombara Health Centre, which she commutes to by plane. Dr Clements is not only a pilot but also the Vice President of the RACGP, Chair of the Rural Faculty, and a practice owner of Clements Medical in Townsville and Magnetic Island.
Dr Girgenti shares her motivations behind taking on rural work, emphasising the diversity and fulfilment it adds to her practice, alongside the notable appreciation from the communities she serves. She encourages early career GPs to seek diversity and engage with diverse work environments that rural practice presents.
Dr Clements discusses the journey of integrating remote services into his practice, explaining the initial challenges and the rewards that result from providing critical services to underserved areas. He outlines the strategic approach to adopting a rural clinic from the perspective of an urban practice and the role of funding and clinical governance.
They also touched upon the dynamics of GP service in rural areas, including the importance of continuity of care and the value it brings to both the community and the healthcare provider.
Concluding with advice for urban GPs looking to extend their services to rural communities, highlighting the potential of such a model for adding excitement, scope, and a sense of mission to their practice.
