Annual Scientific Convention 2007

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners invites you to participate in the 50th Annual Scientific Convention 2007.

Join us in Sydney to celebrate our golden anniversary as we reflect on our discipline's past, present and future. Experience Sydney's spectacular harbour and the city's vibrant blend of modern skyscrapers, cosmopolitan culture, and dazzling natural attractions. Enjoy the sunny climate, outdoor lifestyle, delicious restaurants and wide range of entertainment choices, from opera to festivals and comedy clubs.

Our exciting convention program will illuminate the multidimensional interactions our profession has with individuals, groups and the larger community. We will explore how we, as general practitioners, seek to serve our patients and our communities - from children and young families to the aged; across rural and urban areas; and the types of care and resources available and needed for the disadvantaged and those at risk.
