Welcome to the October 2026 Newsletter It’s hard to believe that the end of the year is approaching so fast. In previous editions of our GP Update e-newsletter, we advised that Dr Nicole Lowe was GV Health's Rural Hospital Medical Liaison Officer. We wish to inform you that Dr Lowe has now concluded her role with GV Health. During her time with us, Dr Lowe played a significant role in strengthening relationships with our rural campuses and local GPs, helping to enhance collaboration across our health service. We sincerely thank Dr Lowe for her dedication, commitment and valuable contributions, and wish her every success in her new role We want to ensure this e-newsletter remains a useful resource for GPs, so we value your feedback and encourage you to share suggestions for future newsletter topics.
