Have you been allocated to a remote/rural area, or are considering applying to one? There are many unique charms and challenges encountered when working off the beaten track. You might find opportunity where you least expected it!
Take a look at our growing range of “thrival” guides, developed by foundation doctors, for foundation doctors.
