Resources
This is a collection of resources that GPs and Registrars have found useful.
Need Help?
Doctors are notoriously bad at seeking help, but it is a key part of professionalism and maintaining a healthy, enjoyable career. This page provides some ideas as to where to look for help when you need it. Your need may be simply for someone to talk over career or learning plans, or it may be something more serious. Whichever, the phrase "Doctor, heal thyself" is very bad advice.
Official Bodies
Government Bodies, Unions and Associations that provide direction, guidance and support for our profession, including Trainees, Principals, Salaried Doctors and Locums.
Guidelines and Evidence Based Medicine
With new and changing guidance being issued at an ever increasing rate, web-based resources are the easiest way to ensure you are up to date.
