« Claiming incentives are “based on what GPs do now” codifies a broken system. Like measuring a tree that the wind has caused to bend, then designing supports to keep it bent. » Alex McKenzie Source : Medical Republic

Australia’s GP workforce crisis is not a workforce failure but a predictable policy failure—the result of fundamental market failures that current government policy actively makes worse.

A year ago, Dr Anna Carswell moved to Launceston in Tasmania to raise her family, encouraged by the Tasmanian Government’s promises of opportunities for rural generalists to deliver intrapartum care. Now, she cannot even get onto a birthing suite.

@PatConroy1 Urgent care clinics are the 'solution' to a problem that only exists because the state governments fail to adequately fund emergency departments, while the feds fail to adequatly fund general practice. Which branch of failure are you?

@AlboMP Labor cut chronic disease funding Cut mental health funding. Has a rebate that is still less than the consult cost. And refuses to commit to proper rebate indexation. Labor might want bulk-billing, but they want GPs to pay for it.

The @AustralianLabor #medicare bulk-billing policy. A thread since many don't understand WHY it's flawed policy. 1. @AustralianLabor only really care about the Bulk-billing %. 2. They care because it's good PR if it goes up and it's a SIMPLE number for the news cycle. -->

Consistency in medicine is important. Seeing the SAME doctor has been shown to give better results. Even within the same practice; seeing multiple doctors leads to worse outcomes. Things get missed; it's inevitable with too many cooks. Policy never seems to focus on this.
