The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is celebrating GPs going above and beyond for their patients in an annual awards ceremony in Perth on Wednesday 20 November.
Each year, Australia’s peak body for GPs honours doctors and general practices making an exceptional contribution to the wellbeing of their communities through its state and national awards. All the state winners are shortlisted for the national awards, which include other honours such as the Rose-Hunt award, the RACGP’s highest accolade.
RACGP President Dr Nicole Higgins congratulated this year’s winners, who will receive their awards on the evening before the opening day of the RACGP GP24 conference.
“This event is one of the highlights of my year, and such an important opportunity to acknowledge the remarkable work GPs and their teams do every single day,” she said.
“The winners represent the very best of general practice and the impact they can have on their communities.
“It’s a unique role in medicine, with endless variety and challenges and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients, throughout their lives. These wonderful ambassadors for our profession are further proof there is no substitute for the care of a GP who knows you and your history.”
