Have you been to your GP recently and thought; โ€œ Wow, that was a great GP visit!โ€ ๐ŸŒŸ

Or maybe, โ€œI wish that process was a bit easierโ€ฆโ€ ๐Ÿ™

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing wants to hear from people with intellectual disability and their supporters about what GP visits are like for you.

The Primary Care Enhancement Program (PCEP) is helping doctors and nurses learn how to better support people with intellectual disability.

Their research team (including researchers with intellectual disability!) wants to know:

โœ… What did you like?
โœ… What didnโ€™t work so well?
โœ… What could be better?

If you live in Central Queensland, Fraser Coast, Wide Bay or Sunshine Coast regions and have visited a GP recently, have a chat with us.

You and your supporter will receive a $50 gift card as a thank you.

Get involved today and help shape a better PCEP program for everyone.

For more information or to sign up, contact Nic and Katie

โœ… Know who can help
โœ… Share your needs with others

When you have a plan, you donโ€™t have to guess.
