Rural GP in the beautiful Great Southern in WA.

My opinions are always entirely my own.

So Scott Morrison has officially advised the states that October's Pfizer allocations are going to be reduced.

He hasn't advised by how much or what he's doing to fix it.

Now he's jetting off overseas.

@robphair Nah, better than that- I'ma get in there and change it:)

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

Currently, I have no choice. Working purely as a contractor for both private practice and my local hospital. It's costing me a lot of $$ in lost income just to attend #RMA19

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

I'm not just a rural generalist. I'm a single mum, with two small kids and lots of debt. I would LOVE a salary, and the security of annual leave, sick leave and paid superannuation. #RMA19

If I wasn't "forced" to do a rural GP placement in final year medicine, I would never have discovered my passion for this career. 8 years and counting. #RMA19 #carrotvsstick

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

Congratulations!!

[ACRRM @ACRRM]

Congratulations to Kathryn Sharley who has been awarded the RDAA Medical Student of the Year Award – offered to a medical student displaying a passion and strong commitment to rural practice. #RMA19 @RuralDoctorsAus

Explains why the constant focus on substance use (and particular substances to the exclusion of others) as a barrier to work, parenting, relationships and a fulfilled life is so problematic.

[Alison Soerensen @AliSoerensen]

Jane Elliott in menopause management - “I believe in giving women the information and letting them make the right choice for them.” - A fabulous sentiment that should carry through to all of our consults. @RACGP #gp19adelaide

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

@jesstidemann Every time

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

Consider context and situation... But these are some yellow flags to look for. I'd argue forced sexual activity is a massive red flag though. #RMA19

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

How do you go about instigating the conversation when you recognise red flags for IPV? #RMA19

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

@DrPieterPeach @drnikkistamp @Bowenchris Multipronged approach. Every government policy (at every level) should consider rural/remote context. Listening to the voices from the communities themselves.

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

Life expectancy in Australia drops the more remote you live- difference of 15 years between City and most remote. #RMA19 @Bowenchris

[Dr Mandie Villis @MandieV83]

Trigger warning for my next few tweets- in a talk about domestic violence. Remember there are many forms of intimate partner violence. #RMA19
