As a follow on from the Gippsland Education Forum held in the Latrobe Valley recently, Fiona Wright, Jenny Timmis and Kristy Allen from Mildura followed the Princes Highway north-east to visit the East Gippsland Regional Clinical School’s Bairnsdale and Sale sites.

While at opposite end of the state, the Mildura and East Gippsland sites have a lot in common and it was great to discuss how each overcomes obstacles such as distance, staffing, tutors, course delivery and IT.

It was a fantastic visit with the sharing of ideas and experience across simulation, academia and administration that will be very useful for all staff and may well be something that the School of Rural Health sites do more regularly.

The visit was so successful that all agreed it should be undertaken twice a year with a reciprocal visit to be scheduled.
