📉 When you start in family medicine you end in family medicine. New research from #TheGrahamCenter shows that primary care yield, was 97 percent for family medicine. Strengthening the family physician workforce is key to solving the primary care crisis. bit.ly/452vP3k

@wesstreeting please help GP Practices under South Cumbria & Lancs ICB. Execs have just passed on massive cuts to our local funding to save their own inflated salaries. Many of our Practices will go under. Execs will not speak to us. Patients will shortly have ltd svcs. Help.

I welcome the Albanese Government’s $573m for #women’s health, particularly for #IUDs and #menopause assessments which @RACGP has been calling for. This will improve health and help reduce gender bias in health. @gedkearney @Mark_Butler_MP #auspol smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

It's been great being in Wangaratta as part of my first Victorian @RACGP rural trip. I’m here to listen, and learn more about the issues impacting rural GPs, practice teams, and patients. #RuralGPCare

While the targeted tripling of bulk-billing incentives supported some patients, we need a clear plan to make sure all Australians have affordable access to general practice care. This involves greater funding through increased patient rebates. #Medicare

Want to know why GPs are worried about pharmacists managing eyes?Here's conjunctivitis, metal in the eye, iritis, glaucoma in random order. One can kill you, one causes blindness. This is why we train for 11 years. Confident you could tell which is which? Can the pharmacist?

Please remember, influenza must be taken seriously. It’s not just a mild sniffle, the flu can land young, otherwise-healthy people in hospital in a very serious condition. So, make sure to get your flu vax in 2024, and encourage people in your life to do the same. #FluVax

With Dr. Simon O’Connor working on the 10 edition of Clinical Examination and the 10 edition of Examination Medicine. Highly satisfying both books remain medical bestsellers in many parts of the world but originated in Australia and were written whilst we were advanced trainees.
