In n-w Tassie 8% hospital admissions inappropriate, 33% of bed stays not medically required = almost $8m/yr - Prof Michael Buist #amanc14

[Alan Pham @poeticMD]

2013 - GP's provide 115 million+ standard consults. Bulk billing schedule fee = $36.30, half of the recommended AMA private fee. #amanc14

[Australian Medicine @amaausmed]

Poorer go to dr less, use hospitals more. GP co-payment exacerbates this = inefficient, inequitable policy - Elizabeth Geelhoed #amanc14

[DrSaxonSmith @DrSaxonSmith]

Medical brain drain. Australia needs to be self sufficient in medical workforce training &drop active OTD recruitment programs #amacnc14

[Stephen Parnis @SParnis]

Doubling GP training allowance is welcome, abolition of PGPPP is not. #amanc14 @ama_media

It costs about $200,000 to train a medical student. Let's not let it go to waste! #QandA #trainingcrisis

[MSAT @Med_Student_AT]

Thank you @QandA for giving the medical training needs a voice - they affect everyone but are swept under the rug #interncrisis

[MSAT @Med_Student_AT]

Health policy needs a long term plan if we are going to achieve anything. Party political games don't mix with health #qanda #trainingcrisis
