18.01.2022 SQRH joins with rural communities to highlight Mental Health Week and especially to highlight this year’s theme of Take Time for Mental Health.

At Charleville, several students attended the community mental health morning tea, taking time to talk to local community members and learn more about local support services. The SQRH South West team created a mental health week display, also highlighting the week’s talking points. #mentalhealthweek2020 #bepartofthesolution

15.01.2022 SQRH-supported nursing student Georgina Rudken is getting her rural nursing career off to a flying start with her recent success of being accepted into the Australian College of Nursing Emerging Nurse Leader Program. Georgina, who is studying with University of Southern Queensland - Australia and in her final year, applied for the program having received encouragement from others who had completed the training. I also feel strongly that the nursing profession is now more th...an ever well placed to have the organisational power to make a difference in the health system, she said. Having completed rural placements at Stanthorpe (Darling Downs Health) and St George (South West Hospital and Health Service), Georgina described rural and remote nursing as providing a different experience and perspective of what nursing looks like.

05.01.2022 After 14 weeks on placement in the South West, UQ Health Social Work student Jordan Simms has developed a real affinity with rural practice and rural life and believes there is no better way to gain knowledge and skills. Working with the Roma Allied Health Team (South West Hospital and Health Service), Jordan has been able to shadow a variety of health professionals including physiotherapists, nurse navigators and doctors, gaining different perspectives from each rural health... practitioner. In a rural environment there is more room for flexibility and you have lots of options to be innovative in addressing patient health issues. I have seen the close social networks in rural centres and it’s wonderful to be part of that, she said. Jordan will graduate soon and is looking forward to landing a job and begin her career after a richly rewarding rural placement! #bepartofthesolution #rurallife See more
