WELL, DONE GENRAL PRACTICE Legendary work as usual we should feel so proud of our achievements, we managed to save our Nation yet again Bush fires Floods then COVID-19 I Hope politicians will recognize the huge role we play in our health system and heavily invest in support of general practice to continue addressing the long-term effects of those disasters Firstly, A huge thank you for My practice team how have managed to deliver 23000 Jabs in arms and counting despite all the challenges we managed to pulled it off. Fantastic team of GPS practice nurses’ medical student’s receptionist managed to work together and address a huge task in a very challenging environment All focused on one thing, a mission to keep our communities safe. AstraZeneca VS Pfizer battle field, for ever changing eligibility criteria, timing of the second jab, endless phone calls, abusive behaviors, booking management, patients with no Medicare or IHI number, vaccine preparation and waste reduction, cold chain, anti Vax, managing confusion, uncertainty and hesitancy, managing complications and side effects plus ongoing care for chronic disease mental health etc. the list goes on. Secoundley, I would like toremind every on with my previous Blog General Practice in Australia at Crisis point General practice is the foundation of Australia’s healthcare system. Our profession is vital to the health of our nation, yet it remains the most devalued profession. We are underpaid, underprioritised and overstretched by rising demand. This is despite the strong trust patients place in their GP’s - being the most accessed healthcare service with more than two million appointments made every week. Here I discuss some key areas in tackling the funding crisis in general practice. Ayman Shenouda
