2 GPET CONVENTION 2010
WelcomeOn behalf of General Practice Education and Training Limited I take great pleasure in
welcoming you to the 2010 General Practice Education and Training Convention.
The GPET Convention continues to grow as a national medical education event for the
Australian general practice community. The Convention brings together registrars,
medical educators, supervisors, training providers, academics and key medical education
organisations in a collegiate forum to share experiences and knowledge and to workshop
solutions to address the challenges facing GP education and training in contemporary
Australia.
This year’s theme Clinical and Cultural Competence: Everybody’s Business provides us with an
exciting opportunity to learn from each other, to share the challenges faced and innovations
implemented in the areas of Indigenous health training and vertical and horizontal
integration; to showcase unique perspectives and methods of training; and to recognise
the important role of the ‘GP’ within their community and the ever evolving patient-doctor
relationship.
We welcome the unique experiences to be had in Alice Springs and the signifi cant cultural
elements this location brings to the Convention program. We recognise the necessity to
learn from the history of the fi rst Australians and to ensure the future of general practice is
something that embraces the cultural diversity of our nation.
This year’s Convention will incorporate new ‘featured’ sessions exploring the key areas
underpinning the overall theme of the Convention, including Indigenous health training,
vertical and horizontal integration of training and education, learning and teaching showcase
and GPs within their communities. The program is full of workshops, paper presentations,
and cultural fi eld trips which aim to engage and inspire you. As always there will be an
emphasis on professional development and audience interaction.
I encourage you to attend the 2010 Convention, to network with your colleagues, and to
enjoy the experiences that only an event in Alice Springs can off er.Erich Janssen
Chief Executive Offi cer, GPET
Alice Springs - the destinationThe 2010 GPET Convention will be hosted at the Alice Springs Convention Centre,
93 Barrett Drive, Alice Springs 0871.
Alice Springs is located in the Northern Territory. Almost precisely in the geographical centre
of Australia, it is a thriving, modern community of 28,000 Territorians. The tropic of Capricorn
passes just 30km North of Alice Springs.
The original Alice Springs is a waterhole located 3km north of the present city and named
after Alice Todd - wife of the Superintendent of Post and Telegraph, Sir Charles Todd. Located
at the historic Telegraph Station, it is now a beautifully restored memorial dedicated to the
pioneering spirit of the men who built the overland telegraph line from Adelaide to Darwin.
Since their arrival, Alice Springs has evolved into a modern Outback town, with all the
creature comforts of a capital city. Alice Springs has everything you require, with international
standard accommodation at all levels. There are plenty of shops, from air-conditioned plazas
to unique boutiques. Restaurants vary from fast food chains to fi ve-star dining.
This area is part of the territory of the Arrernte people and is known by the local names of
Arrende, Yeperenye, or Mparntwe - and is connected with the Caterpillar Dreaming. The
Aboriginal presence in Alice Springs is strong. Their 40,000 year old culture and spiritual
connection to this region echoes in every rock and landmark. They preserve the timeless art,
songs and rituals that connect humankind with Australia’s legendary creation and pre history
- The Dreamtime.

Convention theme
The 2010 GPET Convention will have an
overriding theme of Clinical and Cultural
Competence: Everybody’s Business.
There will be four sub-themes for this year’s
Convention:
Indigenous health training throughout
Australia
Focusing on: Lessons learned from IHT
that can be applied elsewhere in general
practice including multidisciplinary
care, cross-cultural training, community
engagement, and driving policy change;
how IHT is supported in regional training
providers (RTPs) and communities;
challenges in metropolitan IHT; and the
importance of Indigenous knowledge and a
two-way learning channel.
Vertical and horizontal integration
Focusing on: V&H integration in the practice
setting; educational partnerships fostering
integration and development; registrars as
teachers; inter-professional learning; and
RTP structure and support – where are they
headed?
Learning and teaching showcase
Focusing on: Rural and remote training
innovations; accepting diff erent learning
styles; capability-based training; how do
you teach? Showcase your best workshop;
college curriculum changes; and academic
supervisors and registrars – paving the way
for the future.
GPs within their community
Focusing on: The important balance
between one-on-one patient care and
community care; life-long learning and
adapting; leadership – preparing for the
needs of future communities; caring for
the ‘marginalised’; and GPs as people –
storytelling.
Convention objectives

6 GPET CONVENTION 2010
The 2010 GPET Convention will be presented in a slightly different format than in previous years in order to make the most of the outback destination — Alice Springs.
As well as some incredibly exciting and unique social events, the 2010 program has more than 110 presenters participating within three keynote sessions, eight featured speaker sessions, 13 paper presentation sessions (each incorporating at least four 15-minute presentations), 40 workshop sessions, eight poster presentations PLUS eight offsite cultural learning tours over the two days of the Convention.
There will be an abundance of sessions to choose from! To assist delegates in selecting which sessions to attend, coloured target-audience codes (as nominated by the presenter) are applied to each workshop and paper sessions within the program.
WorkshopsParticipation in workshops is on a first-in first-served basis. There will be no pre-registering for workshops at the 2010 Convention. Once workshops have reached capacity—in most cases 30 delegates—the doors will be closed and delegates will be asked to find another session to attend. Only one workshop session is limited to less than 30 delegates and this information is noted within the program.
To accommodate the larger number of concurrent sessions late in the day on Wednesday and early morning Thursday, four workshops from Sessions 3A-3L and 4A-4L will be held in the Crowne Plaza Alice Springs, which is a short walk from the Alice Springs Convention Centre. These workshops will be identified in the final program and sufficient time has been allowed for walking between the two venues. A shuttle bus will be on hand to transfer delegates not wishing to walk.
Unplugged workshopsAnother new feature of the 2010 program is the eight ‘unplugged workshops’, which are sessions held outside in the open air without technological support. Delegates will meet the unplugged presenter in the courtyard, in front of the amphitheatre, just outside the foyer of the Alice Springs Convention Centre, at the commencement of the session. The presenter will then escort the group to a pre-determined location for the session. The courtyard will be easy to find but if you require assistance, please direct your queries to the Registration Desk located in the foyer of the Convention Centre.
Yarn groupsThe 2010 Convention program also sees the introduction of ‘Yarn Groups’, 15-minute networking opportunities held just prior to two catered breaks on each day. Yarn Groups are short unstructured sessions intended to provide delegates with an opportunity to network and discuss topics of interest raised during the Convention. Each delegate will be allocated to a yarn group and will be able to identify their group with an indicator on their name badge. More information on meeting areas will be provided at the Convention.
Delegates are encouraged to embrace these opportunities to speak, learn and share with colleagues at the Convention.
The Program OverviewCultural learning toursA destination such as Alice Springs provides rare opportunities and to make the most of them we are pleased to offer four Bush Tucker Bush Medicine cultural learning tours as part of the Convention program. The tours to Alice Springs Desert Park, will run on both days of the Convention.
Bush Tucker Bush MedicineDuring this tour through Alice Springs Desert Park, delegates will see and learn about the plants and animals that can be drawn on and consumed in order to survive. These resources have been the supermarket, the pharmacy and the hardware store to the Arrernte people. During the tour guests will learn how Aboriginal people use plants and animals for survival in this harsh desert climate.
REGISTER TO ATTENDDelegates should indicate their preference to attend one of the Bush Tucker Bush Medicine tours through the online registration form. Delegates can only attend one tour during the Convention.
Please direct any queries to the conference organisers, On Q Conference Support on (02) 62883998 or by email to [email protected]
Visit Desert Park in Alice SpringsDesert Park Alice Springs is offering delegates to the GPET Convention a 20% discount on general entry and the Park’s Nocturnal Tour.
The offer extends to one week prior and one week post-convention, for those delegates arriving early or choosing to stay on after the convention. The discounts can be redeemed on presentation of registration papers and/or your lanyard to the entry station of the park.
Desert Park is one of the ‘must see’ attractions for every visitor to Alice! In the space of just a few hours, you can discover many of the secrets of the Central Australian deserts at the Desert Park. Hundreds of species of plants and animals found across Central Australian deserts can be seen, smelt and heard. You will even have the opportunity to experience desert habitats as they are at night, seeing some of the animals near impossible to see in the wild.
