The critical role general practice plays in the health of the community has been highlighted during the nation-wide response to COVID-19. Rural peak bodies, ACRRM and RDAA are calling for the inclusion of general practice in all disaster response planning.
ACRRM and RDAA will be exploring what the health sector has learned from both COVID-19 and this summer’s bushfire season in the COVID-19 Rural and Remote Response webinar next week (Tuesday 26 May). We're excited to have Professor Brendan Murphy (Chief Medical Officer), Shane Fitzsimmons (Commissioner of Resilience NSW and Deputy Secretary Emergency Management) and Dr Tim Leeuwenburg (FACRRM and RG Anaesthetist with acute care experience in retrieval and austere environment medicine) joining us on this panel.
