Still calling out for State based rural responder networks to fight the tyranny of distance…so important that we have systems to close the ‘trauma gap’ in rural Australia.

Huge contribution recognised #RMA24 with posthumous “Cohuna” award to our esteemed colleague, supervisor, leader, researcher, friend and mentor @ACRRM @RuralDoctorsAus @RDA_Tas @jcu @UTAS_ @TasmaniaHealth
The significant service of an icon of Rural Medicine, Prof Dennis Pashen, was remembered tonight at #RMA24, with Dennis posthumously being awarded the Peter Graham ‘Cohuna’ Award 2024 – the highest award proferred by ACRRM & RDAA. An enormous contribution made by a great man.
Great to be at the annual @RusticaUTAS Rural Networking Dinner

Great work by @RDA_Tas to get the Tassie general practice incentive settings just right to attract more GPs into ‘real rural’ areas of Tassie.

There’s a massive rural conference in Darwin this October #RMA24
With all the Rural Generalists attending, our Specialist O&G & Emergency Consultants have put their hand up to cover the town in our absence.
That’s the solidarity & collaboration we need @RANZCOG_Pres ❤️🙏🏻

Looking at viable models which integrate paramedics, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, GPs, makes for stronger Primary Care.
Collaborative care, patient centred, stronger together.

“Let’s make our health system GREAT again”
Networked, well resourced local hospitals, patients admitted & managed locally, with streamlined continuity, follow up with the same doctor who works across GP & hospital care.
Cost saving
Time saving
Life saving

Sadly now, “access” is the dominant metric for primary care.
Not quality, accuracy, or safety.
Holistic, comprehensive, & enduring Primary Care has now become a cottage industry- the days of “cradle to grave” care are already gone
Even PA’s will be replaced by AI algorithms soon

Tassie election - We desperately need investment in building the RG & GP workforce in rural areas & significant investment in rural hospitals and rural health infrastructure... get on it!!
