RURAL AND REMOTE HEALTH PROGRAM SUBMISSION
Executive Summary
The exploration of the remote places of Australia, where the requirement of the
Oral and Dental Care has been revealed lies North of the Queensland, and is
known as Cape York. The program on the oral and Dental Care has been
conducted with an intention of providing the people of the concerned area with
the significance and the importance that dental care holds in a human life.
Though it is among the secondary considerations in health issues, the
significance of it lies on the same line as that of lungs or other organs. The
program would help the people in understanding the value of their teeth and
mouth organs and the techniques which they could utilise for keeping them
hygienic and safe from diseases. The program has been framed through
considering the various concepts which includes the target group that would be
focused on, the budget of the program which is an important consideration, the
aim of the program and the output that would be achieved through its
execution rather accurate and specific execution. The program would include
the key performers as the practitioners of the Dental and Oral Health, the
interns of the same department, the nurse and the other helping hands such as
volunteers and other staffs. The program would be held for about 3 days which
would have clear activities for the specific days and the performers would get
to execute their task in the most effective way on each single day. The program
is a bit expensive but the budget has been planned and distributed accordingly
which would help in making the activities quite effective. The targeted audience
would be the younger people or the adults who has been chosen with an
intention of carrying the practice of dental and oral care in the future
generations.
Key Outcome
The program on the Dental and Oral Practices aims to achieve a regular
practice of dental care through the usage of the latest tools and technologies
that would be presented in the program to the audience. The program also
aims to have an outcome of reducing the dental and oral health issues by
minimum 20% in the next 3 years in the mentioned area and some areas
surrounding it.
Name of Australian rural remote community
The remote area that has been chosen for the program on dental and Oral
Health lies to the far North of Queensland which is named as Cape York. It is a
Peninsula which is the Australia’s north most tip and carries a unique outlook
coastline of rainforests. The population of the peninsula is 18000 containing
mainly the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders (Sowa
et al. 2018).
Target group

RURAL AND REMOTE HEALTH PROGRAM SUBMISSION
The group which has been targeted in the program is selected through
understanding the human psychology. The choice of the youngsters and the
adults has been made as this would provide an opportunity of carrying forward
the trend of Dental and Oral Care. The youngsters and the adults of the region
has been the main targeted group as they are the connecting links between the
old age and the future generations. The youngsters or adults lying in the age
group of 20-40 has been the main target group as this age group would provide
their children with the information that would be provided on Dental Care and
also would bring in the practice of the old age (Estai
et al. 2016). The children
of this age group would be the future generation and thus, the practice would
have a scope of being carried forward. Thus the success and the outcome of
the program would be long lasting through focusing on the mentioned age
group.
