Panel: Beyond recruitment: Designing rural and remote health workforces that stay

• The lived reality of managing small, stretched teams across distance and demand

• What’s working to retain staff in rural and remote practice (and what hasn’t)

• Designing roles, rosters and support systems that reduce burnout and enable safe care

• Building cultures and career pathways that make people stay, not just start
