AH&MRC is proud to announce the Deadly GP’s Workforce Project. This initiative aims to address some of the challenges in recruitment and retention of General Practitioners (GPs) in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations . This is a co-design project, and we will soon be reaching out to key people in our Member Services for your input.
