HealthCert Education is now a major CPD provider for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). As a HealthCert GP educator, I'm excited to be part of this milestone event.
Totally agree. I'm just as passionate that patients have regular blood and urine checks - sadly not always being done in primary care. A campaign to increase awareness in general practice and patients could save lives and prevent serious complications.
Regional and remote areas are reporting nearly 4 times the rate of hospitalisations than people living in Northern Sydney. @DiabetesAus CEO Justine Cain says the findings point to an urgent need for a National #Diabetes #Kidney Disease Screening Program. diabetesaustralia.com.au/news/the-bush-…
Plus, so much more. What does healing look like for you? 💚
GPs specialise in mental health as undifferentiated, often complex presentations. Respect our work.
Quote “70% of GP consultations involve a mental health issue, and more people receive mental health treatment from their GP than from psychologists & psychiatrists combined. Mental health generalism is different to psychiatry, psychology or social work. insightplus.mja.com.au/2023/9/gps-rol…

Around 38 million people live with #HIV worldwide, although more than 1:10 don't know they have it. Treatment can lead to viral suppression which means a long and healthy life. Untreated, #AIDS (late-stage HIV) can develop, with a 3-year survival rate. Test & treat early. @HIVGov
Q: Which cancer kills the most Australians in 2020? Lung cancer - with those affected having only a 1 in 5 chance of surviving another five years. Smoking is found in up to 9 out of 10 cases - so quit now. @CancerAustralia #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #StopSmoking
Resistance is futile! Drugs that once killed germs are losing potency. In 2019 #AntimicrobialResistance directly caused the deaths of 1.3m people worldwide–more than HIV/AIDS or malaria alone. Fast facts here: buff.ly/3FTKwt2 #WAAW2022 @CDCgov @NaturePortfolio @ACSQHC
We must not feed #antibiotic resistance. Where is the evidence this plan is more efficacious and safe than seeing a #GP?
Yet another reason why the NSW pharmacy prescribing plan should not do ahead. We should be fighting anti microbial resistance not enabling it by handing pharmacists the power to prescribe antibiotics behind the backs of GPs. Stop this madness, patient safety is at stake.
This Saturday is #WorldPneumoniaDay! #Pneumonia kills 2.5M people annually worldwide, those aged ≥70 being at highest risk. Social distancing, good hygiene, and #Influenza #Covid #Pneumonia #vaccinations protect your lungs. @CDCgov buff.ly/3eXUMW8

Guess what? Doctors are humans too. They need your support, especially in crisis.
My heart is absolutely breaking for the doctors of Lismore. All of those who lost their practices contacted me last week in despair about the anti-doctor media coverage and now they face floods again and still no support. #vastmajorityofdoctors
Thanks @AusMedWriters and @EnvisionPatient for this useful webinar. #PlainLanguageSummaries = information for all
