Deb Russell passes PhD
Dr Deb Russell at her graduation.
Deb Russell from the Centre for Research Excellence at SRH Bendigo has passed her PhD without amendment. Deb’s thesis, “The patterns, determinants and measurement of rural and remote primary health care workforce turnover and retention” was supported by the Centre of Research Excellence in Rural and Remote Primary Health Care (CRERRPHC) and was supervised by Emeritus Professor John Humphreys and Dr Matthew McGrail.
This work has provided important new empirical evidence to guide rural health workforce retention policies. Links to the publications related to her PhD are available on the CRERRPHC website.
Deb is the first of the CRE’s four PhD students to graduate and will receive her testamur at a graduation ceremony in December at the Clayton campus.
Everyone at Bendigo congratulated Deb on a brilliant effort at a morning tea in late October.
