    Why GPs work best when they’re in a social network medicalrepublic.com.au/why-gps-work-b… My research in 20 minutes. Presentation for GPs on how they do what they do so well. Utilising social networks as a work resource.

    For convenience I think we should suggest that all patients are able to pick up all repeats at once rather than having to go back to the pharmacy every month. This will save lots of patient time. AND Lots of health care dollars. Win win.

    I’m very sad that more distrust is being promulgated by you. There are major issues in the transactional nature of our culture that are destroying institutions of trust. This is an unhelpful & generalising statement. Really sad given your past roles of public leadership & trust.

    Cervical cancer breakthrough: Australia on track to eliminate the disease ‘in a decade’ This is an amazing achievement within my GP lifetime.

    Level C telephone Medicare restored but ONLY for the prescription of Covid antivirals Whilst we welcome this news. It is only a part of what is needed. Chronic, isolated & vulnerable patients will now either -need to be cut off at 20 mins -Come in face to face -go without

    @abcnews please note immunocompromised vaccinations with a 3rd dose are not a booster shot but the third shot in the primary course. So they are not technically a booster shot but a part of the primary course of vaccination. Technical language important here.

    Up early to welcome a significant investment ($1B) in General Practice that will go towards the 10 year plan to create a sustainable future for health care in this country. Our economy depends on a strong health system which is built on primary care. Well done @Mark_Butler_MP

    The message is clear. Astra Zeneca vaccine has saved lives but may have a very rare side effect. Covid is a more dangerous disease. In Australia we have done well with Science. Due to that we can afford to wait & secure another vaccine for younger people. Sciencey ✅

    Shane Fitzsimmons awarded NSW Australian of the year. So well deserved. Speaking again of team effort, collaboration, inclusion community down to the names of the fallen firefighters children. Well deserved. @ShaneFitzAU 🖖👏👏

    Thanks @BreakfastNews for highlighting the resources GPs need to keep going. When x1 hospital admission can fund a patient to see their own Gp twice a week for a year (!) you know something is out of balance. We need “time to care” resources. And we needed them yesterday.

    What’s so exhausting about health care reform. A SA premier goes for a night on a metro ambulance service to see what health care workers have been advising for years. He seemed surprised it was relentless but I’m sure no HCW is surprised. Good on him I guess but frustrating 1/2

    Ancient Greek philosophers had a word. The sophists practicing the dark art of sophistry. Humans don’t change.

    Just hearing about all the flak Doctors receptionists are getting. 🥺 Please be kind. The front desk staff are doing a simply magnificent job in changing circumstances. 😢 We are all pretty safe in Australia and will continue to be if we continue to follow ATAGI advice. 😷
