The Good GP never stops learning
RACGP community awareness campaign resources
The second phase of the RACGP’s The Good GP campaign is supported by print and digital resources, designed to help GPs raise awareness and recognition of the vital work they do in their communities.
RACGP members, their practice managers and practice IT staff are encouraged to access the updated campaign materials from the RACGP website for display in their practices, on their websites and on social media.
RACGP Expert Committee – General Practice Advocacy and Funding (REC-GPAF)
The inaugural meeting of the REC-GPAF on Thursday 10 December was a strategic planning session, giving committee members the opportunity to identify and prioritise key issues impacting on general practice funding and the GP workforce more broadly.
Key issues discussed included the role of pharmacists, emerging after-hours health services and the need to better recognise GPs as specialists. REC-GPAF will work to address the issues and risks identified in the meeting over the next triennium.
REC-GPAF also explored some key components such as voluntary patient enrolment, coordination of care, and the complexity and comprehensiveness of services as set out in the RACGP’s Vision for general practice and a sustainable healthcare system.
Actions and recommendations regarding the issues discussed at this meeting will be considered and progressed by REC-GPAF in early 2016.
