Australian & New Zealand Heads of Department GP Group
AAAPC was founded in 1983 as the Australian Association for Academic General Practice (AAAGP). The original aims of the organisation were to: advance the discipline of academic general practice through the promotion of scholarship and innovation in research and medical education; and to represent the University Departments of General Practice where the majority of senior researchers were based. AAAGP helped to put academics from departments around Australia in touch with each other. Throughout AAAPC's history, this network of Heads of Departments has been an important affiliate.
AAAPC's vision is for a multidisciplinary primary care oriented health care system founded on patient-centred, primary care principles and developed through evidence and education. As we grow to achieve this vision, we endeavour to develop networks across disciplines and across countries. Interested in getting involved? Contact us at secretariat@aaapc.org.au
Currently the HODS group is an informal networking group inclusive of all HODS of GP in Australia and New Zealand. We meet virtually 4-6 times per year and discuss issues of common importance – eg organisation and funding for GP placements in medical schools, advocacy around practice incentive payments, leadership in GP in universities etc. We are supportive of each other and in recent years have conducted a couple of surveys of medical schools to better understand the funding, clinical placement opportunities and leadership opportunities in general practice and primary care.
