Patients are being asked to ‘Stand by their GP’ in a campaign to shore up pandemic-hit support for practices that supervise registrars.

With visits to GPs down due to COVID-19, training provider WA General Practice Education and Training (WAGPET) has been encouraging patients back to their doctors. 

Over the past couple of weeks it has run a media campaign urging local residents to continue to support practices that have GP supervisors.

The training provider targeted local media outlets in Perth and three regional centres to highlight the work of supervisors.
