An interesting opinion piece on rurally bonded medical students. Just how many stay? Has it been value for money? Our own @petalac71 contributes to the debate.

@RuralDoctorsAus RDAA has delivered on rural doctor training reform including the development of the rural health commissioner role, to the now funded rollout of the National #RuralGeneralist pathway. Take a bow @Fly_texan @petalac71 @AColtzau @RuralDoctorsAus

[JHRural @JHRural]

@GregHuntMP announces 62m commitment to rural medical training! A massive wrap for the champions tagged that have lobbied tirelessly for a National #RuralGeneralist Pathway! @RuralDoctorsAus @petalac71 @AColtzau @Fly_texan @MaritaCowie @booiespot https://t.co/nlkJJUzClF

[Dr Dan Wilson @DanWilsonMD]

@RuralDocsVIC has taken firm stance on this! All rural ‘Urgent Care’ centres should be funded Emergency Departments. No rural GP wants to bill their patients hefty costs! Equity for all Australians! #RuralGeneralist

[RDAA @RuralDoctorsAus]

@RuralDocsVIC has written to @JennyMikakos calling for a review of urgent care centre model. It is not fair to rural patients or rural doctors. It must change. @GregHuntMP

#MBS #Item699 #HeartHealthCheck sans absolute risk score! #AprilFools?
Next: items for skin, well-woman, child development, STI risk, smoking?
Reductionism kills patient-centred primary care
@GregHuntMP @CatherineKingMP how about a Red Book check instead?
