I'm a proud alum of the RACGP Future Leaders program. As GPs we are seen as leaders in our communities, but training makes a huge difference - I found how my values could inform my leadership and help me drive change through advocacy. Strongly recommended, apply below 👇

While the targeted tripling of bulk-billing incentives supported some patients, we need a clear plan to make sure all Australians have affordable access to general practice care. This involves greater funding through increased patient rebates. #Medicare theage.com.au/politics/feder…

A great example of how the 'efficiency' of letting non-GPs play in the general practice / primary care space is a *false* efficiency that wastes resources, delays proper care, and risks real patient harm. Food for though Mark Butler MP, Stephen Duckett etc.

It's been great being in Wangaratta as part of my first Victorian RACGP rural trip. I’m here to listen, and learn more about the issues impacting rural GPs, practice teams, and patients. #RuralGPCare

I welcome the Albanese Government’s $573m for #women’s health, particularly for #IUDs and #menopause assessments which RACGP has been calling for. This will improve health and help reduce gender bias in health. Ged Kearney Mark Butler MP #auspol smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Interesting range of streams and presenters at #ahw discussing all things about AI, interoperability and digital health, and interface between primary care and the rest of the health system

Wes Streeting please help GP Practices under South Cumbria & Lancs ICB. Execs have just passed on massive cuts to our local funding to save their own inflated salaries. Many of our Practices will go under. Execs will not speak to us. Patients will shortly have ltd svcs. Help.

📉 When you start in family medicine you end in family medicine. New research from #TheGrahamCenter shows that primary care yield, was 97 percent for family medicine. Strengthening the family physician workforce is key to solving the primary care crisis. bit.ly/452vP3k
