Data disproves the myth that many people attending emergency rooms should have been seen by GPs. The actual reasons are much more complex https://t.co/jjDsIwUNZ1

[PracNetResearch @PracNet]

PracNet explored why patients attend afterhours appointments. Perceived need was high among ED, CALMS and WIC patients; but GP patients preferred afterhours for convenience. Read more here: https://t.co/6FiAW2Wca4

@bobepidemiology @nick_coatsworth The GP Clinical School is only a good idea if it has appropriate funding commensurate with rural clinical schools and hospital based clinical schools Otherwise it risks being nothing more than window dressing and creating further silos.

Research by GPs for GP patients - a critical part of the Danish health care system’s success. Well funded and well supported by the Danish University health sector and national funding. Could we do that here please??? #GPConnect #AAAPC #Pracnet #ANUMS

@brookmanknight @RACGP Thanks for your contribution and extraordinary hard work

@AAAPC_ANZ @healthgovau @PC4TG @PCPCC @primarycarechat @DGPMonash @AusJPrimHealth @FloraHui @ShakiraMilton @UNSW @DrKateBarnes Let’s see how it translates. High quality primary care research is about primary care, for primary care patients and by primary care academics. No more genomics research disguised as primary care research please!!!

#RMA22. Great advocacy for rural & remote workforce. Let us not forget there are gradients in disadvantage other than geographical ones. Let’s unite over the need for incentives for workforce to serve high needs, underserved populations wherever they are - some are urban. #AAAPC

Aust GP Supervisors have high rates (70%) of burnout. We need to recognize and support these leaders who are vital to any long term GP workforce solution. Simply increasing clinical placements without appropriately resourcing them will not help @RMA22, @AAAPC_ANZ @ANUMedSchool

@DiPerriman @visitcanberra Two very fine women! Enjoy

[Dr Sandro Demaio @SandroDemaio]

When health experts announced that the majority of patients in hospital are unvaccinated — but not all — some wrongly felt this supported the theory that vaccination wasn’t effective. Actually, it once again shows how INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE vaccines are. It’s all about proportions.
