Health inequities

The Criteria (1.4) for the Australian Medical Council (AMC) Accreditation of CPD Homes states: 

Health inequities i.e., different access and outcomes for different groups of people may present differently depending on the specialty and location of a practitioner’s practice. Good medical practice recognises the role of the practitioner as a champion in the system and also the specialty responsibilities in securing equitable health experiences and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.

The RACGP Specific Interests includes Abuse and Violence in Families, Addiction Medicine, Deprivation and Poverty, Disability, Custodial Health and Refugee Health among its groups that develop CPD educational content and activities for our members.
