GP EDUCATION

The Division coordinates a minimum of one GP education activity each month (excluding January).  These events provide GPs and Registrars with an opportunity to attend quality face to face education opportunities and to interact with peers.  Presentations are provided by local and visiting Specialists and are customised as much as possible to reflect relevance to rural general practice.  A majority of events are accredited with the ACRRM PDP and RACGP QA&CPD programs.  Regional GPs have the option of attending events or requesting a GP Education Package incorporating a hard-copy of the presentation slides and DVD.
