Who I’m voting for in the @RACGP election and why, by @jjknibbs. The next @RACGPPresident will be the most important in the history of the profession, if you choose the right candidate. medicalrepublic.com.au/who-i… #generalpractice @GPsDownUnder #GPs #election

Meet the candidate: A/Prof Michael Clements, by @hollythepayne. Could patients be the untapped advocacy resource to save GP? @RACGP vice president Professor Michael Clements is willing to bet they are. medicalrepublic.com.au/meet-… #primarycare #generalpractice @GPsDownUnder

A must read. As @RACGP Rural Chair @docclements told @JordoMc85 - when disasters like floods, bushfires, or cyclones strike, GPs roll up their sleeves and get to work. Too often, we're not front of mind in disaster planning and recovery. That must change. theaustralian.com.au/news/ru…

An additional 29 urgent care clinics is a misguided investment. There is no substitute for quality care delivered by a GP who knows you and your history. We should be boosting investment in general practice care, so that no patients miss out. This is a missed opportunity. #UCC

Busy GP, born & raised country but who has lived and worked in the city for 48 years goes bush for a week & survived/thrived. I think this is the distilled essence of the difference I noticed. Let's talk about emerging models of care. gps-can.com.au/going-bush

So, busy GP who was born and raised in the country but who has lived and worked in the city for 48 years goes bush for a week and finds out that it wasn't scary after all....who knew?! Let's talk about emerging models of care. gps-can.com.au/going-bush

Great yarn by @marywardy today. The shifting burden of disease towards conditions associated with ageing and mental health requires greater investment in out-of-hospital services and preventative care. This means more investment in general practice. #GP

@booiespot is gone.
Will we ever again find such drive, such vision, such vocabulary & such humour in the one package? We’re missing you already. Rural health has lost a hero. Farewell dear friend – at Brisbane, Queensland
The College mourns the loss of founding member and former president Dr Dennis Pashen.
Our love and support are with Dennis’ wife Vicki Sheedy, his daughter, extended family and the many people whose lives he touched.
