Is this the sort of environment you deem appropriate for patients to wait to get pharmacist prescribed oral contraception, antibiotics, and discuss weight loss management @qldhealth? Our patients deserve more. Stop funding pharmacy prescribing trials & start funding primary care.

Stoked to be back at @RuralDocsQ annual conference representing both @QldRGP and catching up with friends from @ama_qld and @yourAMSA

Join me in supporting the Australia must support ICC Campaign

MANUP WA are doing great work in raising awareness of the role GPs can play in supporting young men with their mental health. Many young boys may not know their GP can be a point of help, but we can educate them about the safe, and confidential space primary care can provide!

Another inspiring female leader in @RACGPPresident discussing the achievements of @RACGP in the last 12 months, and the position #primarycare holds in being a key solution to improving the health and well-being of all @WoncaWorld @Mark_Butler_MP

None other than the @brookmanknight opening #WONCA23 with reflections on the sparkle that we can all bring to primary care and this conference! Such a fantastic leader to look up to. @RACGP @WoncaWorld

Excited to be here at #WONCASydney2023 on beautiful Gadigal Land. Incredible to see thousands of health professionals from around the world dedicated to #primarycare and #generalpractice. Excited to be presenting with @yourAMSA on Sunday! @RACGP @WoncaWorld

Our @ACRRM Indigenous Elders and leaders baring their souls to our rural community within their period of grief - incredibly grateful to be able to listen and learn @AIDAAustralia @RuralDoctorsAus #RMA23

I feel torn about this 49% interested in First Nations care… why not 100%? Culturally safe care should not be an optional interest, it should be a minimum standard! We should not be aiming for just @NACCHOAustralia organisations to be safe, but all services and practitioners ♥️

“If we get cultural safety right, it has positive flow on effects for everyone in the system” - Dr Simone Raye from @AIDAAustralia @RuralDoctorsAus @ACRRM
