2019 greetings from the GP Network News team
The AMA wishes GP members a happy and prosperous 2019. We hope that you have had a chance to relax and reflect on the year that was.
2019 is an election year and general practice funding will be a headline issue in the AMA’s election strategy. Core components of the strategy will include:
- MBS review outcomes that improve the delivery of health care
- Increased public hospital funding
- National Mandatory Reporting laws that help doctors and patients
- A My Health Recordthat protects patient privacy and confidentiality
- Better health care for asylum seekers and refugees
- A greater focus on mental health
- Urgent action on aged care reform
- Strategic funding and programs to improve Indigenous health
We also take this opportunity to remind members of the entitlements an AMA membership provides, including a range of services, representation and training to assist you in your daily practice. We will continue to advise of member benefits in future issues of GPNN.
