GP19
GP19 is upon us and this year the conference is in Adelaide from Thursday to Saturday 24–26 October 2019. Have a look at the program. Registration is open and accommodation is still available. Don’t miss out on the year’s main event for GPs.
Upcoming webinars and events
In Victoria, we have a series of webinars available for viewing. We also have a list of upcoming events (below) that include a series of small group networking events from the New Fellows Committee, a Finance 101 webinar and the ongoing Medication Assisted Treatment of Opioid Dependence (MATOD), which is an increasingly useful set of skills and knowledge as we enter an era of SafeScript and an increasing awareness of opioid over-prescribing in our community.
QI&CPD requirements
The end of the 2017–19 Quality Improvement and Continuing Professional Development (QI&CPD) triennium approaches fast and for anyone who still needs to attain the mandatory requirements, now is the time to act. QI&CPD faculty staff are here to help. Maria, Renata and Axel can be contacted on vic.qicpd@racgp.org.au and the contact numbers are on the RACGP website.
RACGP resources
The RACGP is our college and this is a good time to get involved. We have the largest medical college library in Australia (even in the Southern Hemisphere, I think), for our use to ask for information, conduct searches, view journal articles, and do some ongoing education in our homes, in our own time, such as on gplearning.
RACGP Victoria Council
We had some changes in our Council – I’d like to thank Dr Michael Aufgang, Dr Paul Grinzi, Dr Ian Mackay and Dr Billy Stoupas for their time and contribution to the RACGP. Their work and contribution has been significant and added value to all of us. I’d like to also welcome Dr Jennifer Anderson, Dr Amer I Gilani and Dr George Marcus to our Council. There are many ways to be involved at the RACGP; if you have an interest or simply wish to get involved, feel free to contact us.
I hope you are having a great month.
