| » | Frankston-Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local (FMPML) was given the 'green light' from the Government to commence on 1st January 2012. As the new organization has yet to create a website www.pgpn.org.au will be utilized for links and communication in the interim.
One of the initial tasks which the FMPML has to undertake is a needs assessment of the after hours services in our area. An EOI for GPs to participate in this program has been circulated and we hope to have input from as many of our members as possible to ensure we have a plan that can be implemented to benefit our community. A survey will be coming your way also this week and we will be holding forums soon to enable everyone to contribute. CEO recruitment for the ML is also underway and its hoped to be finalized soon. For further information on the Medicare Locals please see the Australian General Practice Network (AGPN) News Release |
