At its most recent meeting, the Board recognised that the general practice environment is becoming increasingly complex and experiencing significant cost pressures. We are aware that this is forcing some GPs and practices to look at their future options from the perspective of sustainability and potential future exit strategies. Summit Health is keen to ensure that general practice has a vibrant future in the hills; if you would like to have a confidential conversation on what can be done to better support general practice in the region – either individually or collectively – then you are invited to contact me as Chair of Summit Health to discuss opportunities: Assoc. Professor Keith Evans (04 7849 0420 or keith.evans@summithealth.org.au).
