Action arising |
| Research at the RACGP |
Committee structure of RACGP was reviewed and changed
(KPMG recommendation) - Research has been given its own committee. Karen
M. explained the new committee structure.
Chris Del Mar - strong support now from RACGP. It is time to cooperate
in getting things as going.
MN - What will the relationship be?
CDM - Need to stress how far behind GPs are in producing research
output - as low as 1/100th that of other medical groups. Surgeons put in
$1.5M from their own funds. Also need to consider how to put research into
practice.
KM - Need to determine the functions of the RACGP research committee.
CDM - Need to get consensus around the relationship of RACGP committee,
AAAGP and others.
|
CDM to liaise with RACGP and Heads of Departments. |
| Incorporation has been carried out |
Have to refer to AAAGP Inc. and use ACN
Have to have a process for new members - download an application form,
need primary and second - discuss at the next teleconference.
Financial statement has to be given within 5 months of the end of the
financial meeting.
AGM needs to be at a time when maximum members are together in second
half of the year - for the moment RACGP ASM - major decisions to be voted
at PHCRED meetings. |
SH - post constitution. |
Closure:
Date and time of next meeting: December 7th - 12.30pm Eastern Summer Time.
