From the Head of Department

This document illustrates the tremendous achievements of our staff and students and the breadth of work being undertaken in the areas of medical student teaching, graduate education and general practice and primary care research.

Our committed and talented teaching staff deliver very high quality education to medical students throughout the MBBS. In the early years we lead teaching in clinical skills and in the fourth year of the medical degree, we coordinate an enviable general practice rotation that consistently receives excellent student feedback.

A particular achievement worth highlighting in 2014 is the launch of the new Masters of Family Medicine which is now available fully online to increase accessibility for GPs and others working in the general practice setting both in Australia and overseas. More information about this and other graduate studies offerings (CPD and award courses) is available on our new website at med.monash.edu/general-practice.

Of note also is that our research capability and productivity is steadily increasing, supported by the strengths of MAGNET (the Melbourne East Monash General Practice Database) and MONReN our practice-based research network. This is evidenced by increasing grant success, numbers of publications and PhD students. The PACTS project, which has been recognised by WONCA, and our recent NHMRC success are also testament to this.

I hope you enjoy reading through the “highlights” of our year and we look forward to working with you again in 2015.

New Book Releases

Dr Craig Hassed

The Connection is a documentary currently being premiered internationally featuring world leading experts in mind body medicine and remarkable stories of recovery. The Connection considers whether there is a missing link in our approach to health care, and reveals that modern science is proving a direct connection between our mind and our health. The film features the world's leading scientists, researchers, writers and doctors, including Dr Craig Hassed as well as remarkable true stories of people adding mind body medicine to their prescription and recovering from severe back pain, heart disease, infertility, cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Dr Craig Hassed

We have within us the potential if guided wisely to enhance human flourishing at the same time as we limit the impact of disease. Genetics is constantly adapting and re-expressing itself in an ongoing interplay between the environment, mind and consciousness. The old way of looking at genetics was that we just got dealt a genetic hand by nature and we were either lucky or unlucky in what we got dealt. Dr Hassed's new book shows how we can get to play the genetic hand with a wealth of information on how this can be achieved.

Dr Bianca Brijnath

As life expectancy increases in India, the number of people living with dementia will also rise. Yet little is known about how people in India cope with dementia, how relationships and identities change through illness and loss. In addressing this question, this book offers a rich ethnographic account of how middle-class families in urban India care for their relatives with dementia. From the husband who wakes up at 3 am to feed his wife ice-cream to the daughters who gave up employment for seven years to care for their mother with dementia, this book illuminates the local idioms on dementia and aging, the personal experience of care-giving, the functioning of stigma in daily life, and the social and cultural barriers in accessing support.

MAGNETThe Melbourne East MonAsh GeNeral PracticE DaTabase (MAGNET)

The MAGNET Research platform is a unique dataset capable of generating evidence to inform primary health care policy and practice and improve health outcomes for patients in Australia.

The MAGNET research platform is a collaboration between Monash University and Inner East Melbourne Medicare Local (IEMML). Using data extraction tools, IEMML has generated a rich dataset of health care data from general practices within the eastern metropolitan region of Melbourne. This dataset, together with Monash University’s research capabilities, will enable the development of a robust evidence base to support targeted and priority-driven strategic research in primary health care.
