Seeking FDRHMNZ to participate in research project
Exploring factors influencing the stable senior medical workforce at Dunstan Hospital
This research aims to explore doctor’s recruitment and retention experiences and perceptions of why Dunstan Hospital has an apparently stable senior medical workforce. Findings will assist in sustaining workforce consistency and may help identify transferable factors in the recruitment and retention of the rural hospital workforce across Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ).
