Introduction

The Pilbara Division of General Practice Workforce Support for Rural General Practitioners program is here to assist all GP's in the Pilbara with their educational and professional development requirements. We also work to improve workforce attraction and retention.

Our Division Program Officer, Workforce Support works with visiting specialists to arrange local educational presentations for GP's to accumulate their CPD points.

CME

Med-E-Serv PriMeD is a great way to complete your CME. PriMeD earns you as many as 5 x RACGP Group 1 points per hour but you can do it at home and in sessions as short as 15 minutes. Thousands of GP's enjoy the program which is made up of an interesting variety of learning options and allows you to work with GPs from all over Australia. Here are a few comments from participants.

Each week new units are released, but you can do any of the units at any time. Your personal learning journal keeps track of your progress so you never get lost and all your CME points accrue automatically.

You will need to register (FREE) for your access and for your personal learning journal which will automatically update your accumulated points to the RACGP. PriMeD features, including the personal journal, are powered by the Med-E-Serv InTouch identity service which is used by many Colleges and medical societies. You may already have an InTouch username and password, if so enter Med-E-Serv PriMeD now! If not, no problem, register here – it’s Free

GP Education Support

Up to $1500 (excluding gst) is available to assist a primary member with course or conference fees and travel costs during the financial year.
