In order to finalise the draft RACGP Standards for general practices (4th edition), the new material must be tested to ensure it is acceptable, feasible and achievable. The RACGP, in conjunction with the accreditation agencies, will be conducting a field trial of the new material in the standards between May and July this year. The field test comprises participation in an education session hosted by the RACGP, a field test survey visit conducted by the accreditation agency, and an online practice questionnaire. Participation in the field trial in no way affects accreditation. If you are due for accreditation between May and July this year and are able to assist in the field trial, please let your accreditation agency know.

M5 encourages men and those who care about them to recognise the importance of men forming an ongoing relationship with a GP.
