About us
•
NTGPE is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, formed in
2002 by a consortium of partners including AMSANT, Flinders and Northern
Territory Universities, the GP Divisions of the NT (‘SBO’), RACGP,
ACRRM and a consumer representative. Also has a GP Supervisor and GP
Registrar Liaison Officer position on the Board. The establishment was in
response to Minister Wooldridge’s regionalisation of GP training and the
establishment of the NT (and northern SA) region.
•
NTGPE is funded by GPET to provide postgraduate
training in General Practice throughout the NT.
In 2003 this comprises 53 (43 fte) GP Registrars placed throughout
the NT, who therefore provide significant proportions of NT’s GP and
primary health workforce while they are undertaking GP specialist training
•
NTGPE is funded by RUSC and other agencies to provide short-term
non-teaching-hospital undergraduate
placements to students from all Australian medical schools.
It also coordinates placements and essential cultural orientation
for John Flynn Scholarship holders. In 2003 it will make placements for
over 250 students from all Australia’s medical schools for up to eight
weeks.
•
Through an NT-wide organisational structure, it provides the
central coordination agency for medical student training placements in the
NT, apart from those in the major teaching hospitals, RDH and ASH.
•
As additional elements of a vertically integrated set of programs,
NTGPE also:
- provides
remote placements for junior doctors based in RDH through the Rural
and Remote Placement Program,
-
contributes to recruitment and workforce planning studies
undertaken by other agencies, notably the NTRHWA, and
-
contributes to CME/CPD programs throughout the NT.
•
NTGPE has strategic partnerships with a range of other agencies
across the NT for purposes related to medical education and training. For
example, it has an agreements and joint appointments with the Flinders’
NTCS through which we provide general practice teaching to Flinders GEMP
program students in the NT.
