GPs from across Australia and the world will come together in February to look at addiction amidst the COVID-19 pandemic at the International Medicine in Addiction Conference (IMiA21).
The IMiA21 Conference runs every two years in partnership with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP).
This year’s conference, from 26 to 28 February, focuses on the need for clinicians to respond to a patient’s unique situation and experience.
It is timely, with GPs seeing an increase in patients presenting with alcohol and other drug concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vaccine giants Pfizer and AstraZeneca will face the Senate s coronavrius response committee over concerns Australia s vaccine rollout could be delayed or take longer than government claims.

OAM: The late Dr Amarjit Singh More
It was incredibly moving scenes when the residents of Woolgoolga lined the streets to farewell legendary GP of more than four decades, Dr Amarjit Singh More.
Over the years, the humble family man had touched many lives - and saved them.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, residents farewelled the doctor in April by watching the procession make its way from Dr More’s home to the newly unveiled Sikh Temple.
Dr More has now posthumously been awarded an OAM for his service to medicine, and to the local and Sikh communities of Woolgoolga.
