Education for our General Practice partners

These education sessions for our General Practice partners are in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.

A well-informed, skilled general practice sector is an essential component of any health system. This seminar will provide an update for general practitioners (GPs) about current guidelines and best practice across a broad range of conditions seen in general practice.
