GP16 CONVENOR DR TIM KOH
WELCOMES YOU TO GP16 PERTH
Where we will ask the question “How will our profession adapt to the challenges of the digital age?”
General practice has embraced constant change; it is integral to providing the highest quality of care for our patients. Increasingly it seems the rate of change is hastening and we need to look forward to be able to serve our patients best.
GP16 Perth will be the RACGP conference for general practice that looks at the challenges ahead and asks; how can we be best prepared for these challenges and solve the problems they present, whilst continuing to provide comprehensive and coordinated whole person health care to individuals and families in their communities?
I look forward to welcoming you to spectacular Perth where we plan to challenge boundaries, educate, stimulate debate and entertain!
