The convention will explore and expand on these many achievements. Content will revolve around recent and future advances in Australian general practice. Planned keynote presentations on cutting edge research in evidence based medicine, new advances in malignant skin disorders, and research into genetic diseases will complement exciting panel discussions on where general practice is heading in the future.
