Why GPs work best when they’re in a social network https://t.co/s7da2zsVH0 My research in 20 minutes. Presentation for GPs on how they do what they do so well. Utilising social networks as a work resource.

This point cannot be stressed enough.

1000 clinics switching to bulk billing this week? Butler says - Healthed But no reform -the quick political fix These -mental health -women’s health -aged care -complex chronic conditions Remain unaddressed and under funded A missed opportunity

@QLDCountryGP Consistency continuity and mutual trust are the foundations of highest quality primary care for me. Organisational top down changes over decades have made it more and more difficult to achieve..

@QLDCountryGP Continuity of care is one of the biggest factors in positive health outcomes. But successive governments have essentially destroyed the ‘family GP’ model & then wonder why the cost of lifetime healthcare keeps increasing 🤦‍♀️

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.

@Burnt2020 @Shr_Nottingham Or those who have had a previous profession and then do graduate entry medicine. They truly understand and they always highlight the vast difference in terms of depth of knowledge.

@colonelhogans @AustralianLabor @AlboMP The average consult fee is $90. The total government rebate offered is $70. Bulk-billing doesn't add up for anything except short, high-turnover, single-issue appointments. It's insufficient for complex care, chronic disease, and prevention This is PR policy without substance.

They say most suspensions are reversed, so no harm done. But anyone who’s received that text message knows the harm starts there. Anxiety, stress, wasted time & energy. It starts even before that – submitting to mistreatment just to avoid the text. Ty @cait__kelly for reporting

Nursing ratios: It’s a false economy to think you’re saving money by having fewer nursing staff. When we talk about recruiting more nurses, often we’re met with resistance around costs. However, not investing is what is financially unsustainable….

I recently read that clinicians with the highest empathy levels & patient satisfaction scores are at a higher risk of burnout. They often feel immense pressure to provide care that is beyond their human limits (both physically and emotionally). That hit hard.

Oncology teams know psychological care is vital — and guidelines demand it. But health administrators hesitate, fearing costs outweigh outcomes. Low-intensity interventions prove the opposite: high impact, low cost, scalable, accessible. It’s time to invest.

A new @AIHW report shows primary care investment slipped in 2023–24, while hospital funding went up.

Australian #health policy makers should take note of this thread. This is what happens when you divert funding from general practice towards schemes that let everyone 'have a go' at 'primary care'.

Oh dear. Interruptions in economics are v.v. male behaviour, and now in public choice theory and political economy parts of political science too. Too often talks are disrupted by premature questions from know-it-alls who just can’t wait…

📅 Save the Date! The AMA26 National Conference is coming to Pullman Melbourne on the Park on Friday 28 & Saturday 29 August 2026. This will be an opportunity you won’t want to miss, with industry-leading speakers, engaging discussions and networking opportunities. Stay tuned!

In his new Forefront article, @ProfessorJerel from @berkeleychum argues that, despite its age, the classic medical adage of “first, do no harm” is precisely the guiding philosophy that artificial intelligence implementation in health care needs.

For 2 decades, GPs have a flawed contract. Micromanaged QOF points-driven remuneration isn't the way to care for patients, but the way to undermine professional integrity, corrupt vocational ethos, capture and then finally destroy the medical profession. And patients suffer.

Reason 10000000 why the NHS is so damn unproductive. Wrong people in the wrong places. Almost every health problem, even very simple ones, now requires several healthcare interactions to reach a conclusion because it's basically impossible to see a suitably qualified Dr.
