• You do not need to attach evidence. 

• Being a GP can be lonely work: constantly interacting with people, but for the most part, working independently.   
• Make time for structured and informal interactions such as practice meetings, stand-ups, informal check-ins (in person or virtual) and social connections..  
• If you have a high caseload of patients with complex care needs, consider an informal buddy/support system, or utilising the capability of the practice-team, to help share the mental load. 
• Use the reviewing performance tool to capture the impact of this investment, for 1hr RP, several times a year.  

• A comprehensive range of AI products are available to help streamline the workflows of busy GPs and practice-teams. Investigate the options available to you, such as AI scribes, AI billing and compliance tools, and AI features in your practice software.  
• When using AI tools its important to ensure you have considered privacy, information governance and clinical safety. Make use of the blogs, videos and podcasts that are widely available to ensure you are setting up these tools correctly and are optimising their use. Claim your EA hours. 
• If you’re already using these tools, are you getting the best out of them? There’s a knack to getting good outcomes out of AI tools and products. Try searching for newly released tips (blogs, videos, podcasts) from your AI developer/provider. Claim your RP hours. 
• You can also set up templates, short-cuts, and prompts into your workflows to ease your mental load and streamline your consults for additional CPD. 

• Login to myCPD to explore RACGP’s full range of CPD approved wellbeing activities. Wellbeing CPD activities will meet your professionalism and ethical practice CPD program-level requirements. 
• Your medical indemnity provider will have a wide range of wellbeing activities and resources. Some of these may be CPD approved (and your hours uploaded automatically for you) and you can record any other activities that are not approved. 
• There are CPD approved activities to help you optimise your billing and clinical workflows. There are also options such as mindfulness training, wellbeing retreats and strategies to help you maintain effective professional boundaries. 
• Consider RACGP’s Addressing doctor’s health: caring for ourselves and our colleagues (0.5EA, 0.5RP)  
• In recent years we’ve seen members returning to in-person CPD options such as small group learning, workshops, conferences and events. These are great ways to meet others with a similar scope of practice or interest in your area.
