Due to a divergence in values between the current platform X and myself, I have decided to close this account. I would love to stay connected with you. Follow me on LinkedIn to hear more about topics concerning general practice and primary care. #primarycare #generalpractice

As medical educators, we play a crucial role in shaping the minds of aspiring GPs, imparting not just medical knowledge but also compassion, empathy and a holistic approach to patient wellbeing. #EducationDay #education #primarycare

And just like that... the end of 2023 is upon us. Primary care reform is now definitely at the forefront of our federal and state governments, professional colleges and educational institutions. A lot has been achieved with a lot more to come. Read more

Congratulations to our INTERACT team - an innovative new teaching project that has just been awarded an RACGP education research grant. This program will integrate and support GP registrars as clinical teachers in the GP training setting. More GP role models = more GPs. #Training

Well done to everyone who participated in @RACGP's #WONCA2023 . A fantastic meeting of hearts and minds from across the globe, celebrating the generalist and the importance of primary care. In the words of @MichaelKidd5 "Everybody deserves to have their own family doctor".

Despite the outcome of the referendum, Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people continue to be the First People of this land. The inequality in life expectancy and access to health care continues to exist and we must continue to advocate for this to change. #Voice #Hope

Our new general practice MD2 subject is proving to be a hit with one student saying “I was 90% sure I wasn’t going to be a GP before this placement. After completing it, I am 90% sure I will be!” With feedback like that I think we are on the right track. #PrimaryCare #medicine

When people think of medical research, they often think of medicines, diseases and surgical interventions. Primary care research is different. We investigate models of care to improve the practice of medicine. Practical application of innovative thinking. #research #primarycare

Post placement, students often express surprise at finding general practice so interesting and intellectually stimulating. If we could convert this surprise into common belief, maybe we could flip the 13.6% of graduates choosing general practice into 31%. #generalpractice

Introducing the new DiSS Clinical Training and Support program that will provide vital training in youth-friendly primary care and implementation support for school-based health services. DiSS is a great program led by @UniMelbDGPPC. Find out more:

Vision without implementation is just an idea. If we do the ground work, learn from existing models and listen to each other, together we can make collaborative healthcare a reality. #HealthcareInnovation #healthcare #collaboration

It's a misconception that to be a generalist means you know a little amount about a lot of things. General Practitioners are highly-trained specialists who know a large amount about a lot of things. The rise of the generalist is coming! #generalpractice #primarycare #generalism
