As you can see in our 2010–2011 member guide, we have introduced some innovative new products and e-health initiatives.
The College continues to strive to better support you to provide the high quality care our patients need and has developed a range of tools to make the provision of this care easier for you.
Australian registered medical practitioners* who join the RACGP or renew their membership by 30 June 2010 can choose one of these early bird offers: the Australian Medicines Handbook 2010 on USB, or the PrimaryCare Sidebar™*† – RACGP member version.
The Australian Medicines Handbook is the independent, evidence based, national drug reference tool that enables GPs to compare drug information and make informed prescribing choices at the point-of-care. Exclusive to early bird RACGP members,* the USB is a handy, compact format that GPs can quickly load onto their computer or laptop. The 2010 edition contains the latest evidence based information on existing and newly released medicines, and is an essential resource to support you in your daily clinical practice.
The PrimaryCare Sidebar™ is described by its creators as a user friendly, timesaving, interactive panel displayed on a GP’s clinical desktop system.
We are also offering general practice registrars who join the RACGP or renew their membership by 30 June 2010 a free copy of John Murtagh’s general practice series on USB. The compact USB format provides registrars with access to three of Professor Murtagh’s best selling general practice books: John Murtagh’s general practice, John Murtagh’s patient education and John Murtagh’s practice tips.
I encourage you to renew your RACGP membership before 30 June 2010 to take advantage of our offers. For more information on RACGP membership or to pay your membership subscription please call 1800 331 626 or visit www.racgp.org.au/membership.
* Registrars and overseas members are offered a separate early bird incentive and are not eligible for this offer
