The project aims to improve rural health outcomes by investigating practices and perspectives of rural general practitioners (GPs) regarding complementary medicine (CAM). CAM use is highest in rural areas and this could have potential safety issues when combined with conventional healthcare. The results will better equip rural health providers coordinate and manage healthcare for their patients, avoid potential complications and give rural GPs a perspective on managing challenges posed by CAM.
