The nation’s capital is short of GPs, imagine the plight of Rural Remote!
Aus has to accept the fact that It cannot be self sufficient with GPs for the foreseeable future. Our strategy has to FOCUS on how BEST to manage it @racgppresident.bsky.social @maritacowie.bsky.social

Our GP shortage in CBR is deepening & it will impact the people who can least afford it.
We need a plan to train & attract GPs in the Capital.
I recently wrote to Education Minister to support ANU's request for more training places at our medical school.

The ANU's Medical Centre will not have any doctors next year
Clinic staff fear patients will be without medication and care.

She saved his life, so he spent years unravelling the mystery of the 'gentle lady who dressed like a bushwhacker'
Bedridden with rheumatic fever in the 1940s, and having already lost his father to the disease, Ian Braybrook says he owes his life to the big-hearted doctor who treated his family without charge.
