We understand practices want more choice, and our program allows practices to choose between our online or paper-based programs, as well as offering many additional program features and benefits.
 
GPA values its independence and the relationship with its practices.   All practices are assigned their own Quality Accreditation Manager who provides support throughout the accreditation process and a helping hand along the way.

allmedic - Exhibitor

allmedic™ is a medical skin health company designed by Australian specialists and general practitioners who are passionate about treating and protecting Australian skin. By combining their skills and knowledge in sun damage, skin cancer, cosmetology, molecular immunology, allergy and pharmacy they have created the first true doctor administered skin management system for doctors and their patients.  Traditionally skin care has been the domain of the beauty and marketing industries. Negligible results and evidence of efficacy, poor value for money and marketing hype have all contributed to a shift in patient thinking. As patients become more discerning and educated regarding their skin, they are increasingly demanding medically directed solutions for skin health.  In response to this demand, the team at allmedic™ has devised a medical skin health system which provides a treatment regime along with an ongoing development cycle. allmedic™ offers a clinical product range and access to non invasive medical skin treatment procedures for all doctors and specialists to use in their medical practices.
We have introduced a strong initial training program with ongoing technical and support infrastructure to complement our skin health system.  The results are better patient outcomes and an opportunity to increase clinics “Out of Medicare Income”.  Come and talk to Belinda to find out how to implement allmedic™ into your clinic.
