SA GPs call for patient-centred care as new abortion bill flagged
The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has expressed strong concern regarding a proposed abortion bill expected to be introduced to the South Australian Parliament in early June. RACGP SA Deputy Chair Dr Clare Keogh said decisions about pregnancy must remain between a person and their healthcare team, not politicians. “Abortion care is healthcare. These are deeply personal decisions that should be made by individuals in consultation with their GP and trusted health professionals,” she said. “We are concerned about ongoing attempts to revisit and restrict reproductive healthcare through legislative change. This risks undermining evidence-based care and patient autonomy.” The…

PATH-UTI evidence falls short of justifying broader pharmacy prescribing expansion
The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has cautioned against using findings from the NSW PATH-UTI evaluation to justify a broader expansion of pharmacy prescribing scope. While the report, commissioned by NSW Health and led by the University of Newcastle, found high patient satisfaction and symptom resolution rates, a lack of substantial evidence makes it difficult to fully assess these findings. RACGP President Dr Michael Wright said the College was committed to evidence-based health policy. “Disappointingly, this was another pharmacy trial evaluation that failed to provide the necessary clinical outcomes,” he said. “It involved an unrepresentative patient cohort, lacked a…
