RACGP elections
Nominations for the RACGP President elections opened this week, and members have until 4.00 pm (AEST) on Sunday 21 July to submit their nomination.
Elections play a significant role through which members can have their voice heard. RACGP Board Chair Dr Lara Roeske and RACGP President Dr Nicole Higgins recently hosted a webinar featuring details on the election, nomination and voting process that members can access online.
Members can also find additional information via the RACGP website.
Business viability resources
In today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, it is essential that GPs have a strong understanding of the business aspects of their practices.
The RACGP recognises this need and has developed additional resources that provide valuable insights and guidance to enhance the business viability of general practice.
By utilising these resources, members can strengthen the financial foundation of their practices, improve patient care, and ultimately achieve long-term success.
The new resources include:
2024 RACGP Awards are open for nominations
Nominations for the 2024 RACGP Awards are open until 24 July.
The college is looking for the GPs, registrars, supervisors, medical educators and general practices going above and beyond to improve health outcomes for all Australians.
Members can nominate colleagues, peers, or themselves, while a
nomination kit is also available to help promote the awards in your practice and online.
Award winners will be celebrated at a special ceremony during GP24 in November.
Meeting DVA requirements
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has released
new resources to help GPs who treat Veteran Card holders comply with requirements. It also provides advice on what to do if you suspect a provider is doing the wrong thing by veterans and DVA.
