Thanks Tim. I did not realise there were two Colleges in Australia - totally missed that. Right in the ‘unknown unknowns’ corner of my Johari window…

Absolutely nothing popped up here on #RACGP. Might be tempted to add #JustaGP 🤔

I've not seen many Australian GPs using #RACGP as a hashtag (probably because we have 2 GP Colleges)
Often linked to rural practice - #RuralGP, #GoRural, #DestinationRural. Sometimes #JustaGP catches on over here too

I added the #RCGP hashtag to the GP and Primary Care feed. I’m very aware that tilts it very much to UK and going to keep a watch on that. Do Australian GPs tend to use #RACGP or other tags?
