How will the SBOs report? Reporting will not be overly onerous. SBOs will be expected to submit a detailed annual plan and annual budget by 15 March each year. However, for the 2004 - 2005 financial year SBOs will need to provide an updated annual plan by 31 August 2004 to include the GP Panels Initiative (this was not included in the annual reports submitted in May of this year). SBOs will then provide a 6 monthly (Feb) and a 12 monthly (August) report as standard practices for core funding.    How much money has been provided to fund the SBOs?Home DoHA has allocated $500,000 to SBOs and ADGP. Each SBO has been allocated funding based on a formula developed by DoHA. This entails a $15k flag fall and the remainder based on the number of Divisions of General Practice in the state or territory.About ADGP  Consumers & Divisions  |    Annual Forum Discussion Forums Divisions Directory    |   Populationvi Work in partnership with key aged care and related stakeholders to establish linkages and improved outcomes 400,000 Area Covered Gold Coast region CEO  |   Mr Matthew Carrodus  |   Chair  |   Dr Michael Wright  |   Subscribe to PagePrograms  |     Media   Site Map  |   Help  |  |   Events  |   Links  |   Network Consultation  | Search  Help  |  Contact  |  My ADGP  |    |  ADGP  |  Privacy Statement  |    |   Physical Address:  | 3/5 Executive DriveHome | BURLEIGH WATERS QLD 4220About ADGP | AustraliaConsumers & Divisions  Postal Address:Annual Forum© 2006 3/5 Executive DriveDiscussion Forums BURLEIGH WATERS QLD 4220Image Library  AustraliaDivisions Directory Document Library Programs  |     Events    | Search Email:Policy gpdvgold@gcdgp.com.au Phone:Media 07 5507 7777  |   Fax:  |   07 5507 7700Links Website: http://www.gcdgp.com.auSite Map  | Contact

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS:Privacy Statement

Disclaimer
• A direct reliance on GPs and practice staff to drive Program initiatives, instead of non-medical Project Officers, and an associated high level of GP and practice staff participation in Divisional affairs.
• Development of structured inter-practice support systems, especially through quality improvement in collaboratives

CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE:

• That general practice on the Gold Coast becomes aligned in the public mind with the principles and practice of self-management by patients with chronic disease.
• That the inter-face between the local hospital system (public and private) and general practice routinely meets the requirements of both parties.
• That GPs' work satisfaction improves.
