What are the challenges facing rural GP practices?

Some of the issues facing rural GPs include;

• Larger practice area which impacts the dynamics of both GPs and their patients
• Access to other secondary care (i.e., dentistry, out of hours)
• Lack of recruitment opportunities (clinical and non-clinical staff)
• Poor infrastructure services (broadband)
• The impact of tourism during peak seasons, increasing practice foot-traffic
