There’s no excuse as an academic and “specialist” to manipulate data to create a false and disparaging narrative about general practice. GPs are the backbone of mental health care https://t.co/1LIgtDlDGp @racgp @ian_hickie @RosenbergSeb @Mark_Butler_MP

[AMA Media @ama_media]

The AMA and @RACGP have joined together, writing to the Minister for Health to reinforce the critical role of GPs in providing high quality mental health care and backing this with evidence. Constructive and informed input is critical to achieving better support for patients.

I cannot over-emphasise what an incredible positive impact vaccines have had in preventing severe disease. It is now rare to see people with respiratory complications from Covid. What is important now is encouraging boosters in the remaining older adults who are yet to have one.

After two years of relatively low levels of transmission, this year’s flu season is expected to be more severe, with cases already presenting to hospital. Associate Professor Megan Rees explains how getting the flu jab is the best way to protect yourself and those around you.

[ABC Melbourne @abcmelbourne]

Organ donations can transform people's lives and many Australians say they would donate theirs, but the number of people putting their names on a national register has stagnated. Some are calling for a rethink.
