Isolated GPs are being offered health check-ups without having to leave their own practices, thanks to a new program that sends out travelling doctors into the bush.

Doctors’ Health SA launched its rural doctor check-up service last weekend, with the aim of reaching GPs who usually could only be treated by doctors they knew or worked with in their own local communities.
