Celebrating the achievements of our members

It’s time to hang up the “out of office” sign at GPSA and wish all our members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

For those who are unable to take a break or will be on-call over the festive season, thank you for your work and we hope you enjoy what time you can with family and friends (furry ones count).

The GPSA office will be closing at noon on Tuesday (December 24) and reopens on Thursday, January 2.

To round off the year we have put together a GP Supervisor “roll of honour” for 2019 – the supervisors who have received GPSA Recognition of Service Awards and those whose work has been recognised by a regional training organisation or at a national level by the RACGP.

In the past 12 months, GPSA has been contacted by medical practices nominating 39 GP supervisors for Recognition of Service.

Please say congratulations (and a big thank you) to these doctors (listed below) for their contribution to GP training during their careers. Special mention goes to Dr Clive Ronan, from Yarrawonga, Victoria, for his 35 plus years of service.

Another of our members, Dr Raphael Torome, took out the prestigious honour of being named the General Practice Supervisor of the Year by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Dr Torome works at the Lake Bonney Private Medical Centre in Barmera in the South Australian Riverland.

Next year will be an exciting one for GPSA with a number of important research projects underway to complement our work producing the free, open-access teaching resources and advocating for our members.

We will continue to keep you up-to-date on our progress through our regular eNews editions.

Until then, we wish you a safe and happy festive season.

Regards,

The  board and staff at GPSA
