Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Dubbo will host a public lecture examining the difficult questions surrounding the provision of health care services in rural and remote . ‘What Health Services Should Rural Australia Have?’ will be presented by the University’s Professor of Rural and Remote Pharmacy Patrick Ball at 6pm on Wednesday 12 August at CSU at Dubbo. Professor Ball will present his findings from a study of health care services in two similar rural communities in NSW. “Our research provides evidence that what is required is more flexibility in allowing communities to develop approaches that meet their individual needs, based more upon access to services, rather than necessarily their physical presence,” said Professor Ball. The lecture will be held in room 422, lecture theatre, CSU at Dubbo. CSU wines and cheeses will be served after the lecture.
