21.01.2022 Dr Maria Cigolini, the director of RPA Hospital's palliative care unit, is speaking at our Rural Doctor seminar. She says that the average GP will see about 20 deaths a year as part of their workload, with most rural GPs seeing a higher number. Dr Cigolini says that 85% of Australians die from chronic illness and after an increase in ill health over their last few days or months of life.
21.01.2022 Do you agree with the score of Zero that the federal government has given itself in relation to a plan that was to see grants given to rural GPs and clinics? Only 10 out of the 100 planned grants were ever given, after former Health Minister Peter Dutton announced the plans.
20.01.2022 In excess of 30% of trainees are in private practice after completing Queensland's Rural Generalist Pathway. Do you think the program is beneficial to rural towns seeking GPs or is the Pathway simply creating more 'hospitalists' and doctors working in hospitals rather than as GPs?

11.01.2022 While kangaroos hopped by his office window, new Rural Doctors Association Australia president, Dr Ewen McPhee, took some time out of his busy schedule to speak with Rural Doctor on a number of key issues affecting rural practitioners. "We’re seeing these young doctors moving to rural primary care practices but they’re also very competent and confident, and they wish to be there," Dr McPhee says of the success of Queensland's Rural Generalist Pathway program. "I absolutely cannot see any reason why we shouldn’t be pushing for similar programs right across Australia."
08.01.2022 A West Australian GP obstetrician has been reprimanded over the birth of a stillborn child at Rockingham Hospital late last year. Dr Ross Douglas Jose, who has been in practice since 1991, will now need to be supervised and has been placed under strict practice guidelines by the Medical Board for the next 14 months.
05.01.2022 Do you agree with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia when it suggests that the proposed move to prohibit the over-the-counter availability of codeine will make pain relief medicines more expensive and difficult to obtain, especially for patients in rural and regional areas who pay more to visit a GP?
05.01.2022 From next month, aged care homes across the country, including rural and regional areas, will be able to call in the newly formed Severe Behavioural Response Teams if residents with dementia are deemed to be at risk to themselves or others.

04.01.2022 Do you think the Professional Services Review Agency needs to clamp down on corporate medical practices pressuring their GPs to 'rort' the MBS? The agency's annual report this year highlights the case of two recently arrived IMG doctors recruited by a corporate practice who ended up billing for more than 1000 GP management plans in the space of just 12 months. When questioned by the agency, one of the doctors said he was told by senior management at the clinic to "do more care plans" to bring in extra revenue.
