Job Title: Virtual VR GP Practice Information: In 2021, the Western Queensland Primary Health Network, Health Workforce Queensland, the RACGP Qld and Rural Faculties, and UQ-MRI Centre for Health System Reform and Integration partnered to co-create the VIP Program, where an urban/regional GP joins a rural general practice one day per week for a minimum of 18 months to provide ongoing care to patients remotely via telehealth. The VIP Program aims to support the rural GP workforce and build practice capacity through the development of virtual general practice. The program will provide opportunities for GPs to work in a rural setting, develop their skills and knowledge in virtual general practice, and contribute to the development of a sustainable rural GP workforce. The VIP Program is an innovative approach to addressing the rural GP workforce shortage and improving patient care in rural areas. The program will be delivered through a combination of face-to-face and online training, and will include mentorship and coaching from experienced rural GPs. The VIP Program is open to GPs who are interested in working in a rural setting and who are willing to commit to a minimum of 18 months in the program. The program will provide a unique opportunity for GPs to develop their skills and knowledge in virtual general practice, and to contribute to the development of a sustainable rural GP workforce.
