NTGPE was delighted to partner with the NT GP Student Network (GPSN) group last night (2 October 13) to present a Clinical Skills Evening for the NT’s Medical Program and Clinical Science’s Students.

Four senior GP Registrars and two Medical Educators from NTGPE were on hand to take the 40 students through four skills stations – point of care testing, chest pain and ECG, suturing and airway management. Stories of GP training, the huge variety of roles undertaken by GPs in the NT and the activities of students in the NT were shared over the evening and a fantastic feast and half time entertainment was provided by SARRAH.

NTGPE looks forward to partnering in more activities with the NT GPSN to spread the word about becoming a GP in the NT!
