‘We just feel like everyone’s equal. Everyone has a say, and I’m very, very open to everyone giving me any ideas, any crazy ideas that they have’: @drbernardshiu talks about the culture in his award-winning practices. https://t.co/RckUVe7vMs

‘…the heart of our clinic isn't found in the bricks and mortar; it's in the moments we share. Our approach goes beyond treating the ailments; it's about nurturing dreams, fostering resilience, and inspiring each other to be the better versions of ourselves.’

[Dr Bernard Shiu @drbernardshiu]

We thank the RACGP and all our colleagues who recognised and celebrated the work we do. BMC is a culturally diverse clinic with vision to meet challenges of primary health with innovation, diligence and care in a sustainable manner.

[Victorian Department of Health @VicGovDH]

“While we are still learning about this new condition, what we know for sure is that the best way to not get long COVID is to not get COVID.”

It’s vindicating to see that an independent review found no evidence of systemic Medicare fraud by doctors. GPs just want to deliver great healthcare to a community in which chronic conditions are on the rise. …/1 https://t.co/o2VjWbjJMf

@hohumvon @RACGPPresident @DanielAndrewsMP @Dom_Perrottet @RACGP Good points!

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

A promising start to 2023. It's great news that @DanielAndrewsMP and @Dom_Perrottet are listening to the @RACGP and other health bodies and pushing for a national plan to boost general practice care. Action is needed so that no patients are left behind.

Long Covid is here to stay. We need better framework and strategy to address this condition long term.

"Of all the pressures on the health care system, the thing that worries me the most right now is the state of general practice."

@Mark_Butler_MP joined us ahead of a meeting with medical groups today, to discuss the shortfall of GPs across the country.

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

A sign of things to come in cities and towns across Australia. As ⁦@drbernardshiu⁩ told ⁦@TamaraMcDonald3⁩ - many universal bulk billing clinics will have no choice but to charge patients more. Government must boost investment in GP care. #GP https://t.co/u8LJ4cQIjS

@rwade300 @nadahamad So unconscious - as if I have been woken up from a bias coma
So deep - it is well hidden in layers of internal conflict
So implicit - the habit takes an intentional effort to change

[Dr Bernard Shiu @drbernardshiu]

I would like to acknowledge my own deep unconscious implicit bias towards gender inequality. Such a thought provoking discussion today @ #coda22. It is MY job to start this dialog to address my own moral compass by beginning dialog with my female colleagues. Because it matters!

[Dr Bernard Shiu @drbernardshiu]

#coda22 is the only conference that has

Zero souvenir or goodie bags
Zero name tag
Zero GP bashing
Most importantly - Zero net carbon

Lots of innovation
Lots of connection
Lots of sharing
Most importantly - Lots of collaboration

Bravo CODA!

[Dr Bernard Shiu @drbernardshiu]

A-advocacy, exercise of empathy, role for the privilege . Do and be the difference

B - belonging, they are anxious, confused because they are lonely. Quality relationship

C - contribution and community, foundation of well-being
