Holistic support framework for doctors training as rural and remote general practitioners: a realist evaluation of the <scp>RVTS</scp> model
This theory depicts how a remotely delivered supervision and support model addresses the place and practice challenges faced by different doctors, meeting their professional and non-professional needs. The participants felt valued as part of a special professional group delivering essential primary health care services in challenging locations. The theory could be adapted and applied to support other rural and remote doctors.
