General practitioners (GPs) are essential for coordinating care and managing symptoms. Necessary medicines must be quickly available to provide responsive symptom management in the terminal phase. GPs can facilitate prompt availability of medicines by working collaboratively with pharmacists who have a shared understanding of the required medicines.Objective: This article explains the development of, and provides information about, the National Core Community Palliative Care Medicines List.Discussion: A group of healthcare professionals with community palliative care expertise (Expert Group) compared the medicines to manage terminal phase symptoms against a set of criteria, choosing four core medicines based on their ability to manage symptoms, cost and ease of use. Creating a standardised National Core Community Palliative Care Medicines List supports clinical communication by providing an accepted baseline for symptom management; however, it should not replace communication between prescribers and pharmacists; rather, it should support collaborative practices.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 9","pages":"643-646"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored patients' experiences with GPs managing their CNCP.Method: Qualitative responses to two open-ended questions about GP care from adult respondents (n=200) to Chronic Pain Australia's 2021 National Pain Survey were thematically analysed.Results: Five themes emerged regarding valued GP skills and attributes: effective treatment; communication with patients; common therapeutic factors; shared expertise; and the importance of mental health. Five themes regarding patients' needs emerged: access to services; access to medication treatment options; the importance of GPs staying up to date; communication; and common therapeutic factors.Discussion: A critical need exists to raise GPs' awareness about the expectations and unmet needs of people living with CNCP. Addressing patients' needs early in their journey might result in better GP-patient relationships and cooperation, and more effective treatment.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 9","pages":"611-620"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores factors that influence engagement with Tasmanian GP training pathways and hence GP workforce recruitment and supply.Method: Eighteen interviews investigated the experiences of Tasmanian GP trainees, supervisors and trainee support personnel to explore enablers and barriers to training engagement.Results: Factors influencing training engagement included aspects of trainees' personal lives, professional career-related factors and elements of training support. Personal aspects included family dynamics, health and finances. Professional factors included perceptions of GP careers, remuneration and stigma. Training support factors related to complex interactions between the trainee and the training organisation, supervisors, medical educators, practices and peers.Discussion: Personal aspects are non-modifiable; however, professional factors and training support features can be targeted to foster engagement with GP training pathways. Considering training as a complex system is helpful in translating this evidence into practice.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 9","pages":"621-626"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined COVID-19 antiviral dispensation and incidence of severe outcomes among eligible Victorians by socioeconomic status and cultural and linguistic diversity.Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted using linked population data. Dispensation of COVID-19 antiviral treatment (molnupiravir or nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) is described, stratified by socioeconomic and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) status between 1 January and 30 June 2023 in Victorian residents aged ≥70 years. Rates of severe COVID-19 outcomes (hospitalisation or death) were also calculated from 1 November 2022 to 30 April 2023.Results: Victorians living in areas of increasing socioeconomic disadvantage had steadily reduced COVID-19 antiviral dispensation in both CALD and non-CALD groups, with lower rates in CALD groups across all socioeconomic levels. The rate of severe COVID-19 outcomes showed the opposite trend.Discussion: This analysis suggests that treatment access and outcomes are inequitable in Victorians eligible for COVID-19 antivirals. Increasing equity is a public health imperative.","PeriodicalId":54241,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of General Practice","volume":"54 9","pages":"589-594"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
