#RMA22. Great advocacy for rural & remote workforce. Let us not forget there are gradients in disadvantage other than geographical ones. Let’s unite over the need for incentives for workforce to serve high needs, underserved populations wherever they are - some are urban. #AAAPC

GPs are spending time in almost every consult talking about COVID-19 vaccines. GPs & PNs, tell policy advisors and researchers how COVID-19 vaccine counselling is impacting your day-to-day in this survey: Survey link: surveymonkey.com/r/BKB7BTH?p…
