The recent conference exchange to #RCGPAC organised by the JIC ezxhange team was a huge success. GPs from all over Europe visited to experience UK primary care!

WONCA WEBINAR Great opportunity from the WONCA migrant health SIG, a webinar about primary care for older migrant people: 1200-1300, 17th Oct 2024 zoom.us/j/97806700482

At @RCGPAC our Chair spoke to Dr Jama Elmi a UK trained GP working in the Middle East for BAE Systems. He loves that #GeneralPractice allows him to design his career and offers a diverse range of both patients to care for and practice settings. #globalprimarycare #First5s

#GeneralPractice trainees/#First5s & their Japanese counterparts as part of the Dr Kaizen Project (a collaborative QIP). The project is led by Dr Ryu Kitaoka (UK GP trainee & @RCGPJIC member). If you are interested to take part, contact @RCGPJIC for more info.

Our committee members at @WoncaEurope in #Dublin. Seeing other GPs/family medicine doctors, learning about their challenges & opportunities, their healthcare systems & training schemes is how we start to make general practice better. #globalprimarycare #GeneralPractice #First5s

Fatmanur, a GP from Turkiye, visited the UK on an exchange organised by the JIC recently. Hear all about her experience!

Drs Yaarthi & Ritish Lutchmun were former students of mine in the first batch of @UniOfMauritius -@ImperialSPH MPH program 10yrs ago. Yaarthi has since taken on important roles incl. Med Unit Dir @ Ministry of Social Security, #Mauritius Med Council Chairperson & #WHO officer.

Great to meet one of the doctors working in a Medi-Clinic in #Mauritius. She will see approx. 40 patients in a session (approx. 3 hrs). That's about 4.5 mins per patient. What should be a safe level of patient contacts per day? #globalprimarycare #GeneralPractice #TeamGP #First5s

Esha & I talked abt the state of women’s health in #Mauritius, incl. having an organised national cervical/breast CA screening programme & improving access to a wide range of HRT & contraception. #GeneralPractice trainees & #First5s can hear Esha's story in an upcoming webinar.

I met with Dr Esha Gopee-Beharee, an Australian-trained #familymedicine doctor with a special interest in women's health. She recently returned to #Mauritius to set-up a much-needed clinic. Family med is a new concept here & has yet to be incorporated into its health system.

I embarked on a 1.5h bus trip to meet a #familymedicine doctor in Ebene, just south of the capital, Port Louis. The bus is a great way to experience the country, interact with people & hopefully learn some lessons from encounters. #globalprimarycare #GeneralPractice #RCGP

Visiting #Mauritius to see efforts to improve #primarycare. Grateful to be on national radio (NRJ Maurice) today & make a brief mention about healthy lifestyles.#globalprimarycare #GeneralPractice #RCGP #TeamGP #First5s

Building on strong foundations, India’s primary care system follows principles similar to the WHO’s guidelines, emphasizing accessibility, affordability, and care continuity. These principles guide the way towards healthier communities. who.int/news-room/fact… #GlobalPrimaryCare

“In figuring out how to improve access, serious consideration will need to be given to what constitutes the offer from general practice to the population and how any unintended consequences can be managed.” @MaryDixonWoods @cmsinnott @bmj_latest
