Call out to GPs. Do you have a spare 5-10 minutes to complete a survey on OAC treatment for AF? The survey is part of a study looking at patient persistence and adherence to OAC treatment. The study is being led by Prof Charlotte Hespe from UNDA. https://t.co/gXNZmZxgVI

@JEChalmers @MinhKular @101FMLogancity @ShannonFentiman @LinusPower These clinics are essentially an admission by governments that #medicare rebates aren't enough to be able to #bulkbill. If they were, these clinics wouldn't need millions in top-up funding.

As our ⁦@RACGP⁩ NSW/ACT Chair ⁦@runningdoc14⁩ told ⁦@LanieT96⁩ - the ‘Sick Tax’ will force many practices to charge patients more or shut up shop. The ACT Government must act on payroll tax on tenant GPs and make this a priority. #SickTax https://t.co/bPNtpLXOlc

A great piece of data journalism and visualisation. You’ll be amazed. This square is the average Australian salary – see how it compares to the size of planned t… https://t.co/ynapWXnrVv

The @RACGP backs rigorous systems to stop overbilling. However, this problem is not universal. The vast bulk of GPs do the right thing and the $8b figure remains unproven. In fact, 47% of surveyed GPs avoided claiming services due to compliance fears.

all over Australia! The shortage of GPs has never been worse and unfortunately & not getting better - only 13.8% of new grads choosing GP! Years of underfunding and band aid measures have led to this! @Mark_Butler_MP @PictonChris https://t.co/C8tzRgE3KO @RACGP @ACRRM @ama_media

We need to empower people to say NO - please don’t make the health system more expensive just because its easier to repeat things. Please ask my GP.
We need a connected system for sharing important health data

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

The Govt’s proposal for a new in-home aged care program does not include GPs. The @RACGP believes this is a missed opportunity to support better integrated GP-led care for older people. We are key to improving the health and wellbeing of these patients and must be front of mind.

[Charlotte Hespe AM @runningdoc14]

Thank you @JillannFarmer for describing the efforts required by GPs in the current siloed primary care setting to ensure medication management is safe
We urgently need connected systems of care

Safety and quality in primary care: whither goest? https://t.co/iVlnujyVqT

[Charlotte Hespe AM @runningdoc14]

A really well articulated insight into the problems facing delivery of high quality GP care to Australians @Mark_Butler_MP @RACGPPresident
We need changes to the perverse disincentives to primary care urgently
