GPGC Networking and AGM 2024

General Practice Gold Coast (GPGC) invites all local General Practitioners (GPs) to attend our GPGC networking evening and Annual General Meeting (AGM).

GPGC is an independent membership organisation, set up to support local GPs and advocate to ensure that General Practice remains at the forefront of an effective and sustainable healthcare system.

GPGC acts to facilitate and support communication between GPs and local hospitals, specialists, health care institutions, universities, allied health professions and community groups. GPGC also acts to facilitate the advancement of local General Practice, especially in respect to supporting educational and networking opportunities that enhance the quality of care being delivered within General Practice.

• Supporting GPs to advocate for improved community health outcomes
