The classic image of a visit to the GP looks like this: a patient has a sickness such as an infection, the doctor examines them and prescribes a pill, and the patient recovers in a few days or weeks.a new report by the respected Grattan Institute think tank
The problem is the current Medicare public health system, which pays GPs per 15-minute consultations. Grattan says this funding model incentivises through-put but not necessarily patient outcomes.alleged that some GPs are rorting the system to bill for unnecessary consultations. The set fee will pay for the GP and a team of appropriately trained psychologists, physiotherapists, paramedics and registered nurses, who together can look after the patient more efficiently.
This will be a huge change in many people’s daily lives. They will have to sign up to a single GP but perhaps see less of them.
They did. They did it with the vaccine as a one size fits all.
GPs will evolve, always have. Just generally fed up with everyone else telling them how to do their jobs.
Medicine is not and cannot be a business concerned with profit. Currently medical practitioners are discouraged by non-medical bureaucrats and penalised in spending more time with patients. Medicare should be revised to appropriately remunerate more time spent with patients.
You mean Smoking, meat, dairy and sugars?

GPS are just ticket writers, they just write a referral to a specialist. Job done, consultation fee collected.

Doctors are starting to change Realise drugs are not the answer The future of medicine is preventive No one wants to be sick or take medicine And this trend wi drive medicine for the next fifty years at least
What about the current Chronic Disease Management thing? Are they talking about exactly that?

This is the same Herald that is currently under the gelatinous oaf known as Bevan Shields. Whatever 'view' you have is absolutely and utterly wrong as has been demonstrated numerous times
SMH for crying out loud ! Stop with the articles blaming the GP's! The BB rate has not changed in years but all the costs and regulations have gone up. GP's are doing their best. The system is hampered by a govt that doesnt want to pay for it and blames the Dr's JUST LIKE YOU
