RACGP Rural is offering registrars and GPs around Australia the opportunity to gain practical experience in ultrasound.
 
This full-day active learning module (ALM) will improve your understanding of point-of-care ultrasound applications in the diagnostic process. Ultrasound experts will guide you through the diverse applications of ultrasound in primary care services. You will be introduced to basic techniques using advanced, high-end mobile equipment. Each workshop is capped at 25 participants to allow hands-on experience.
 
This ALM is accredited for 40 Category 1 Quality Improvement and Continuing Professional Development (QI&CPD) points in the 2017–2019 triennium. It is also approved for all categories of the Rural Procedural Grants Program.

Thank you to all of our registrar members who entered the 'GP19 registrar Facebook photo competition'. We loved seeing your entries that showed us your passion for general practice through photos and captions! However, we could only choose three winning submissions.

Congratulations to:

Dr Nathan Lam, SA: 'To care for someone in general practice involves all of what makes us human. I feel like I work in the intersection of creativity, pragmatism, humour, philosophy and diversity.'

 

 Dr Laura Harris, VIC: 'It’s the perfect blend of challenge, variety, advocacy and humility. It keeps me on my toes and lets me make a difference in my community.'

 Dr Mitchell Walmsley, QLD: 'I chose to be a GP to provide comprehensive family healthcare. From antenatal to geriatrics, providing proactive care and building relationships with the local community.'
