Rural Health Education Foundation resources focus on eyes and ears

Three recent Rural Health Education Foundation programs with a focus on eye and ear health among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are now available on DVD to order for free.

Additionally, a DVD showcasing the different strategies that rural and remote Australian communities are employing to encourage residents to quit smoking, of value to those working to change behaviour to promote ear health, is available in March.

Support and funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) Foundation, the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation and Allergan has allowed the Rural Health Education Foundation to offer the DVDs for free.

The DVDs are accredited for continuing professional development (CPD)/continuing professional education (CPE) for many health professionals and can be ordered from the links provided below.
