Who is GP Synergy?
GP Synergy is a leading provider of general practice education and training, delivering training across Sydney and northwest NSW. It is 1 of 17 Regional Training Providers (RTPs) delivering the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program.
Funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health & Ageing and administrated by General Practice Education & Training (GPET), GP Synergy provides comprehensive education and training programs to equip registrars with the skills required to become confident and skilled General Practitioners. GP Synergy registrars are able to train towards achieving fellowship with either the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP) and/or the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM).
GP Synergy was formed in 2009 with the merger of training providers the Sydney Institute of General Practice Education and Training (SIGPET) and New England Area Training Services (NEATS). A further amalgamation occurred in 2010 with the Institute of General Practice Education and Training (IGPE) training program.
The result of the mergers is an enlarged organisation extending across central, north, east, south and southwest Sydney, and the New England/North West Slopes of NSW, offering many rewarding opportunities and locations for General Practice training.
