The GP Residential Aged Care Kit contains practical information and tools for GPs to:

• Provide continuing medical care for their patients in aged care homes.
• Work with ACH staff and other service providers to ensure delivery of timely and appropriate care after hours.

The kit is presented as a series of information sheets, which can be kept at the general practice, and updated as new materials become available. Each information sheet offers tools for incorporation into your practice systems.
