I have always been lucky I suppose, but then again I am right up front with my GM's.
All the GM;s I have worked for /with have always been supportive.
I can remember the GM at a rural hospital I was working at, I did a briefing paper on my path to Fellowship, and his comment, we want a Fellowship in this rural health service, how can we help.
Often we need support, help, guidance, assistance, development, but think our managers are mind readers.
come straight out with it, do a full briefing paper on what you need, what you want and how you aim to achieve your goals. Unless it is mega $ , often health services will help.
It also depends on what value we place on ourselves, how do we value ourselves, do we portray those values as a professional member of staff with professional values.
Maybe we need to be more open, more professional and document more of our developmental needs, so managers can take time to digest what we really do, what we need and how they can help us on our path to job satisfaction and professional development.
Remember my motto: If its to be, its up to me, if I want to make a difference, I have to go out of my way and do it, no one else will do it for me.

You know this and we know this, but mention it for serious consideration by the bean counters - you'd need to stand by with burnt feathers and sal volatile! Leo and Stephen are both right. Hospitals do not go out of their way to attract Allied Health staff (or even to retain the staff they have.) If Allied Health were offered the incentive packages put in front of doctors, teachers or even the incentive packages for RR nurses.........

Unfortunately most rural sites, at least here, really do not have the facilities (range of equipment and examinations) for a PDY staff member. In terms of perhaps gaining some radiographers in rural settings, the PDY could have a component for rural work, which allows for the more restrictive but sometimes more innovative practice involved. Maybe the larger regional hospitals could take on additional PRY staff and rotate them through the rural areas sharing the cost amongst the hospitals involved. (More work the bean counters to figure out how]. Who knows some may take up the challenge and remain in a rural setting. > > Stephen Cottrill > Chief- MIT > Innisfail Hospital > PH 07 40 615411 > FAX 07 40617345 > > > > ********************************************************************** > This e-mail, including any attachments sent with it, is confidential > and for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
