We all know the health system is under stress. Health and medical workforce is a major issue. Doctors and nurses are stretched along with budgets and patients may not be getting the care that they require and should expect. A number of hospitals are struggling to maintain services.

On the other hand we often don't hear about the good things that are happening in your practice, community, hospital or Area Health Service. Rural Health Watch is a new initiative of the Rural Doctors Association of New South Wales.
