title: General practice 'going places'.
abstract: This paper, which was presented at the Annual General Meeting of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in September 1991, outlines possible roles for the general practitioner in the public health system. Four fundamental steps need to be taken: affirmative action by health boards to include GPs in all activities; representation of the RACGP on health boards; adequate remuneration; and part time employment of GPs in all health care delivery service units.
