As patients are increasingly becoming consumers in their healthcare journeys, modern GPs will face a choice between evolution or extinction. Patients expect easy access, fast answers, a great customer experience and the sense that someone has time for them. At the same pace, clinics are becoming fully-fledged brands, and the technology holding them together is quickly becoming the differentiator in a high-demand market.

So, how many hats does the modern GP need to wear? Clinician, entrepreneur, data custodian, and now even technologist. Join us for an honest breakfast conversation on what it actually takes to wear all those hats without losing the one that matters most.

Panelists:

• Dr Maria Boulton, GP and AMA Queensland Board Chair
• Associate Professor Alam Yoosuff, Rural GP, Chair Murrumbidgee PHN
• Jayne Thompson, Product Director MediRecords
• Dr Patrick Gough, Co-Founder and Medical Director, MediBetter

Moderated by Dr Max Mollenkopf, Practice Owner, Whitebridge Medical Centre.

Sponsored by MediRecords.
