New year, new opportunities | GreenGP
https://greengp.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/new-year-new-opportunities
Reflections of a Rural GP. New year, new opportunities. January 2, 2014. This time of the year is a good chance for people to reflect on the preceding 12 months and consider their plans, expectations and goals for the next. Most refer to these goals as “new years’ resolutions”. These things can’t be forced! A good mnemonic that I was taught at Monash University for goal-setting is as follows:. Goals need to be ‘SAME’:. Although goal-setting and action on behaviour change can occur at any time of year, fo...

Reflections of a Rural GP. The Medical Paperwork Tsunami – Hand-written vs. Electronic. July 13, 2014. However it is more the large volume of material that concerns me! From late 2013 highlighted these issues for GPs, adding that these tasks are not billable by Medicare, and are therefore effectively unpaid. Sadly, most of the papers and journals I receive end up in my recycling bin, simply because of their sheer volume piling up in my office, after months of not having had a chance to read them. 8230;bu...

Reflections of a Rural GP. On Leaving a Country Practice. January 20, 2014. The practice often held Friday night drinks and a favourite pass-time was playing Sing Star in the conference room, to the dismay of some of the staff members! Tutorials were often a refuge to discuss difficult cases and enjoy a warming latte with my supervisor and fellow registrars, interns and students. Now this is the kind of tutorial setting that speaks to me. I am very grateful for the time I have been able to spend in the C...

Reflections of a Rural GP. Trust me, I’m a (SNAP) doctor! October 14, 2013. Should GPs bother asking patients about lifestyle factors? I was talking with GP registrar extraodinaire, Dr. Gerry Considine. He exclaimed, and I agree! I recall that when I was a teenager, I was surprised when my GP enquired about how much exercise I was doing at the time. (On a side note, I am quite sure now that my GP was using the very useful HEADSS. Psychosocial assessment tool for consultations with adolescents! Which is p...

Reflections of a Rural GP. You’ve Been Subpoenaed. March 10, 2014. As a medical student, you hear about doctors having to give evidence in court from time to time. But until you experience it yourself, it all seems a bit surreal and even perhaps a little romanticised…depending on which television show you watch! 1 What is a subpoena? The Federal Court of Australia website. Describes a subpoena as “. 2 Do I have to go when the subpoena states I should be there? 8220;may be dealt with accordingly”. The DPP...
