The following is a sample of the general feedback we’ve received about the Foundation’s programs and services:
“As a not-for-profit organisation, the Foundation’s dedication to the health and well-being of those living in rural and remote areas by providing free accredited television-based distance education services to health and medical professionals nationally is truly inspirational; as is the scope, depth and quality of your programs. I had the privilege and pleasure of being involved in the Continence Series: Improving Bowel Continence program, which was a wonderful opportunity and experience. I commend the Foundation staff and film crew for their commitment, friendly assistance and enthusiasm.”
Pamela Todd, Co-founder/Facilitator, Brisbane Bowel Cancer Support Group
“The Foundation’s programs have established a vital knowledge lifeline for rural doctors and health professionals.”
The Hon. Tim Fischer, former Deputy Prime Minister and Patron of the Rural Doctors Association of Australia
“Even with the advent of broadband and email, the growth in demand for Rural Health Education Foundation services in recent years demonstrates the superior value of whole-of-communication education services over those which depend on text, audio or graphics in isolation.”
Dr Chris Mitchell, Chair, National Rural Faculty of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners
“The Foundation programs are great for me as I have a very demanding family and workload but I can still keep up my PDP at home.”
Dr Clare Jukka, Senior Lecturer GP & RM, School of Medicine, Atherton Tablelands
