This week’s round up also includes last calls for the RACGP Foundation Grants and Awards program, how to get involved in celebrating 30 years of RACGP Rural, and the next online family violence GP training program.
GP22 call for submissions
The RACGP’s annual conference is a chance to share the unique contribution GPs and their colleagues make to patients, the general practice profession and healthcare in Australia.
‘GP22 is a time to share our clinical, psychological, innovative, self-care and reflective insights in a way that brings members together, reminds us why we’re all GPs, and puts a smile back on our collective faces,’ according to Chair of RACGP Victoria and the GP22 Advisory Group, Dr Anita Muñoz.
The college is now calling for:
- 15-minute oral presentations to share research
- one-hour clinical presentations
- poster/ePoster clinical and research presentations.
This year’s conference is set to be held as a hybrid in-person and digital event in Melbourne. More information on how to get involved is available on the
GP22 submissions page.

Family violence GP education program

training for GPs in family and domestic violence.
Eligible for up to 40 CPD points, participants will join like-minded GPs, medical professionals, and healthcare workers as they share, discuss, and develop knowledge of family violence via peer-group learning activities.
