all over Australia! The shortage of GPs has never been worse and unfortunately & not getting better - only 13.8% of new grads choosing GP! Years of underfunding and band aid measures have led to this! Mark Butler MP Chris Picton MP abc.net.au/news/2022-12-0… RACGP ACRRM AMA Media

The Govt’s proposal for a new in-home aged care program does not include GPs. The RACGP believes this is a missed opportunity to support better integrated GP-led care for older people. We are key to improving the health and wellbeing of these patients and must be front of mind.

A really well articulated insight into the problems facing delivery of high quality GP care to Australians Mark Butler MP Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President We need changes to the perverse disincentives to primary care urgently General practice: service or business? insightplus.mja.com.au/2022/47/genera…

We need to empower people to say NO - please don’t make the health system more expensive just because its easier to repeat things. Please ask my GP. We need a connected system for sharing important health data Mark Butler MP

The RACGP backs rigorous systems to stop overbilling. However, this problem is not universal. The vast bulk of GPs do the right thing and the $8b figure remains unproven. In fact, 47% of surveyed GPs avoided claiming services due to compliance fears. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

As our ⁦RACGP⁩ NSW/ACT Chair ⁦Charlotte Hespe AM⁩ told ⁦@LanieT96⁩ - the ‘Sick Tax’ will force many practices to charge patients more or shut up shop. The ACT Government must act on payroll tax on tenant GPs and make this a priority. #SickTax canberratimes.com.au/story/8295917/…

Call out to GPs. Do you have a spare 5-10 minutes to complete a survey on OAC treatment for AF? The survey is part of a study looking at patient persistence and adherence to OAC treatment. The study is being led by Prof Charlotte Hespe from UNDA. redcap.sydney.edu.au/surveys/?s=8T7…
