The AMA has released a seven-point plan to address the critical problems facing general practice. @amapresident Prof Steve Robson launched the AMA's plan to improve access to GPs, which would create a modern Medicare that delivers patients more time, more care, and more health.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay. "It's just as important for our male leaders to make space and pass the mic." Outstanding leadership from only our second @AMA_WA female vice president. It's a legacy that must be built on. Time to pass the mic... youtube.com/watch?v=8w4x8zOd…
