It's a misconception that to be a generalist means you know a little amount about a lot of things. General Practitioners are highly-trained specialists who know a large amount about a lot of things. The rise of the generalist is coming! #generalpractice #primarycare #generalism

Vision without implementation is just an idea. If we do the ground work, learn from existing models and listen to each other, together we can make collaborative healthcare a reality. #HealthcareInnovation #healthcare #collaboration

Post placement, students often express surprise at finding general practice so interesting and intellectually stimulating. If we could convert this surprise into common belief, maybe we could flip the 13.6% of graduates choosing general practice into 31%. #generalpractice

When people think of medical research, they often think of medicines, diseases and surgical interventions. Primary care research is different. We investigate models of care to improve the practice of medicine. Practical application of innovative thinking. #research #primarycare

Our new general practice MD2 subject is proving to be a hit with one student saying “I was 90% sure I wasn’t going to be a GP before this placement. After completing it, I am 90% sure I will be!” With feedback like that I think we are on the right track. #PrimaryCare #medicine

Did you know that many of the studies used to inform national guidelines on general practice care are not actually conducted in a general practice setting? This recent article in the AJGP with Jo-Anne Manski-Nankervis shows how to turn this around. go.unimelb.edu.au/5ags #Research

Despite the outcome of the referendum, Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people continue to be the First People of this land. The inequality in life expectancy and access to health care continues to exist and we must continue to advocate for this to change. #Voice #Hope

Well done to everyone who participated in RACGP's #WONCA2023 . A fantastic meeting of hearts and minds from across the globe, celebrating the generalist and the importance of primary care. In the words of Michael Kidd "Everybody deserves to have their own family doctor".

As more schools across Australasia begin to introduce school-based healthcare, it's vital we evaluate the ways that education and health intersect. Join us on 28/11/23 to contribute your ideas and help shape this vital work:go.unimelb.edu.au/3q9s #YouthHealth #school #Wellbeing

Congratulations to our INTERACT team - an innovative new teaching project that has just been awarded an RACGP education research grant. This program will integrate and support GP registrars as clinical teachers in the GP training setting. More GP role models = more GPs. #Training

And just like that... the end of 2023 is upon us. Primary care reform is now definitely at the forefront of our federal and state governments, professional colleges and educational institutions. A lot has been achieved with a lot more to come. Read more go.unimelb.edu.au/aia8
