Description:
The configuration of rural health services is influenced by geography. Rural health practitioners provide a broader range of services to smaller populations scattered over wider areas or more difficult terrain than their urban counterparts. This has implications for training and quality assurance of outcomes. This exploratory study describes the development of a “clinical peripherality” indicator that has potential application to remote and rural general practice communities for planning and research purposes.
