Thanks for your efforts too – it has taken a cooperative, collaborative effort to get these into place and used.

I will provide some state later on the www.australianGPalliance.com.au web-site.  

In the New Year, we hope to host some “roundtables” and “townhall” type meetings to canvass this COVID-19 situation and some other GPs’ issues.

These will include:

• GP role in COVID-19 Vaccination

• The 2021 Influenza season
• Prescribing by ingredients being made mandatory from 1/2/2021

• “Regulations” regarding use of email in practice: staying safe

Hoping that you have time to stop, rest, recuperate!  Stay well! Stay safe! Stay sane!

With best wishes for the Festive Season.
