Going Places Network 
Ever noticed how once you enter your hospital training, general practice tends to fall off the radar? You may work in acute care and other specialties, but you don’t get much exposure to general practice?
The Going Places Network is a junior doctor network that allows you to explore the world of general practice while you complete your hospital training.
By joining the network you will get access to general practice focused networking events and educational events, publications, online resources and loads more. To find out more visit the Going Places Network website - GP Australia.
GP Australia website
The GP Australia site not only provides information about Going Places but also provides information about almost anything you would want to know about general practice.
The GP Australia website is aimed at junior doctors who are starting to think about vocational training, who might want to find out some more about general practice before making a decision. Once you've decided to become a GP come back and visit us here at the AGPT website to apply for the Australian General Practice Training program.
