In less than 24 hours, the RACGP’s ‘You’ve been targeted’ petition has gained an incredible 3,800+ signatures. GPs and patients are now uniting to demand general practice receives the recognition it deserves as the foundation of an effective healthcare system in Australia. Initial support for the campaign and petition is encouraging, but this is no time for complacency. Please spread the word and encourage your colleagues, family and friends to rally behind this vital initiative. Join the conversation online using the official campaign hashtag #ivebeentargeted - because after all, we have all been the target of this ill-conceived policy. Visit the RACGP website and download/personalise the draft letters for GPs and patients to send to their local member of parliament and Prime Minister Tony Abbott. http://www.racgp.org.au/yourracgp/news/news/youve-been-targeted/ General practices can also download the campaign poster to display in waiting rooms and a hardcopy of the petition to increase patient awareness. The RACGP will continue to provide updates on the campaign as it evolves and sincerely appreciates all support.
