A message from the ChairThe Women in General Practice Committee is an RACGP Victoria faculty committee that supports and advocates for female general practitioners (GPs) and for women’s health. Each year we organise and facilitate educational events, as well as opportunities to meet, support and network with other GPs.

This year we are excited to bring you Brainy Women: Medicine and the Mind. The conference includes sessions on women’s health, and on doctors’ health and wellbeing. It is open to all GPs, as well as to new Fellows and registrars. Our conferences are practical, interactive, and provide many opportunities to meet and talk with other GPs.

Dr Marina Malcolm Chair, RACGP Victoria Women in General Practice Committee
