NAIDOC week webinar

Webinar 7 Jul, 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (AEST)

Join us for the RACGP NAIDOC Week member webinar.

The RACGP is proud to support activities during NAIDOC week, with a webinar for GPs to learn more about the theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’. This theme celebrates not only the achievements of the past, but the bright future ahead - marking a powerful milestone: 50 years of honouring and elevating First Nations, Indigenous and Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander voices, culture, and resilience.

Facilitator

Dr Karen Nicholls

Dr Karen Nicholls, a Torres Strait Islander woman descending from Boigu Island in the Torres Strait. Since receiving her Fellowship with the RACGP in 2010, Dr Nicholls has worked predominantly in the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation sector and academia. Passionate about health equity and growing the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce, Dr Nicholls is currently working in full-time academia at the University of Newcastle where she originally studied medicine. Late last year she joined the college’s 65th Board when she was elected Chair of RACGP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health – a role in which she feels privileged and proud to be a female GP representing this space.

Presenters
