FOR HEALTH PRACTITIONERS…
The Rural Health Education Foundation is Australia’s pre-eminent provider of television-based health education for doctors, pharmacists, nurses and allied health professionals.
Our Vision is a well-educated rural health team delivering consistently high quality care for rural Australians.
Our Mission is to produce and deliver topical, high quality, evidence-based educational programs enriched by the voluntary participation of Australia’s best health and medical experts.
We shrink the vast distances of rural Australia with a national satellite broadcast network, the Internet and other distribution technologies.
We help rural health professionals keep their skills up to date without having to leave their families, their clients, and the communities who rely on them.
Since 1992 the Foundation has produced hundreds of programs covering a wide spectrum of health education issues - all designed specifically for rural and remote health practitioners. Most programs are conducted in a panel discussion style with expert participants and featuring clinical examples. Many programs are presented live and allow for viewer participation and interaction. The Foundation also produces pre-recorded documentary-style programs.
The Foundation broadcasts the programs across our own satellite network of more than 660 sites, as well as other television services. See our broadcast timetable for details.
All programs are accredited and are available via video webstreaming and audio podcasting on this website as well as on DVD.
Our website is fully searchable and provides links to many other online health resources.
