Could a matchmaking website for GP practices overcome the fears of some doctors that rural general practice is ‘a little bit scary’?

The RACGP is trialling a new program where GPs create online profiles of their practices to connect with their urban or rural counterparts — a little like a dating app.

Photographs of the practice can be uploaded to the college website. There are also questions such as “tell us about your practice” and “what type of relationship are you interested in?”.

The hope is that matched practices will develop long term relationships.
