Telstra Health is delighted to announce that it has been appointed as RACGP’s newest Major CPD Provider, marking a significant milestone for general practitioners (GPs) using MedicalDirector Clinical software.
This partnership enables RACGP members to access RACGP approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities seamlessly in their workday as part of their membership.
This announcement comes as GPs continue to adapt to the new CPD requirements introduced by the Medical Board of Australia in January 2023.
Many GPs have expressed challenges in navigating the Measuring Outcomes (MO) and Reviewing Performance (RP) components of CPD. Telstra Health’s innovative approach addresses these challenges by integrating CPD directly into existing workflows, offering a streamlined and accessible solution.
Telstra Health’s CPD program leverages Smart Connected Care tools within MedicalDirector Clinical, including Clinical Decision Support, Smart Visual Dashboards, and Smart Research, in partnership with Praxhub. These tools are designed to transform everyday practice activities into CPD opportunities, reducing the administrative burden for GPs, freeing up valuable time so they can focus on improving patient care and patient outcomes.
“Supporting GPs to meet their CPD requirements shouldn’t add to their workload—it should fit naturally into their workflow,” said Dr Janice Tan, Clinical Director at Telstra Health and practising GP.
“By integrating CPD into MedicalDirector Clinical, we’re not just helping GPs meeting regulatory requirements, we’re empowering GPs to deliver better patient care while saving them precious time and reducing stress.”
Telstra Health’s first CPD program is set to launch within MedicalDirector software in the first half of 2025, providing GPs with education and opportunities to apply their learnings into practice. The program will also simplify reporting, with activities automatically applied to GPs’ RACGP myCPD home account, significantly reducing administrative overhead.
“Telstra Health’s CPD solution is designed with GPs in mind,” said Prof David Wilkinson, National Clinical Lead at RACGP and practising GP. “Our goal is to help GPs not only meet their CPD requirements but also focus on improved outcomes.
“GPs are always developing their clinical knowledge as part of their practice.
With Telstra Health, RACGP members have access to everyday CPD that automatically captures the continuous improvement GPs do when they focus on patient-centred care.”
The integration of CPD into MedicalDirector Clinical is a testament to Telstra Health’s commitment to supporting the healthcare sector through innovation and collaboration. By delivering a practical and accessible solution, Telstra Health continues to position itself as a leader in enabling better healthcare outcomes across Australia.
GPs can expect to see Telstra Health’s first RACGP CPD approved activities rolled out in the first half of 2025. For more information, please visit medicaldirector.com/cooking-up-a-storm
