One of the biggest complaints about GP CPD is the time it steals from the important areas of your life.
Well not any more
In the past, you were faced with a dilemma.
You could travel to attend a conference OR spend the whole weekend with your family.
Sit in a darkened auditorium OR head to the beach with your kids.
Watch a webinar in your home office OR enjoy a family dinner at home.
To paraphrase children everywhere, "it sucked".
Thankfully, because of recent changes in technology
and updates to the 2023-2025 CPD programs it all changes now!
From today onwards you can easily and effortlessly stay up to date and still spend quality time with the people you love and doing the things that bring you the most joy.
There are four essential components to a "doctor first / family friendly" CPD program
- It must have a massive choice of topics
- Adult learners, learn best when they can choose EXACTLY what they want to learn.
- You must stop wasting time on topics that don't bring you value.
- It must be up to date and created by subject matter experts.
- It must be well paced to your needs.
- Sessions that go too fast, too slow or don't consider your prior experience can waste your time.
- It must fit effortlessly into your lifestyle.
- Allowing you to learn quickly and easily while maintaining a great work/learn/life balance.
Introducing ArmchairMedical.tv
Australia's first "Family Friendly" General Practice CPD
Some people call it the "Netflix of Medical Education"
You will call it "more time with my family"
From today you can "attend" meetings from all over the country, easily and effortlessly.
Choose the events, topics and lectures you are most interested in, ignore the rest.
It's a on demand program of Australia's most interesting medical conferences, with new content delivered to you every month.
You will get dozens of new conferences each year for less than the price of attending a single event in person!
Of course you'll save money, but how valuable is your time?

Learn while you exercise
Instead of taking time away from the people you love, stay up to date while you exercise!
- Health guidlines suggest we all invest 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week, being active, but a lot of us don't.
- 30 minutes a day on an exercise bike or elliptical trainer watching ArmchairMedical.tv will allow you to watch the equivalent of a full three day conference each month, without missing a day at the beach or a single dinner with your family.
- Download lectures to our App and enjoy them when you don't have internet access.
- The ArmchairMedical App coupled with 30 minutes exercise per day will change your life.
Learn while you commute
Instead of taking time away from the people you love, stay up to date while you drive to work!
- The ArmchairMedical Apps allow you to listen to any lecture like a podcast.
- Choose your favourite conference to enjoy in the car.
- Change the playback speed to learn faster.
- Download lectures to your phone and enjoy them when you don't have internet access.
- The ArmchairMedical App coupled with 30 a minute commute per day will change your life.
Learn on the way to your holidays
Instead of travelling for a conference and spending all weekend in a conference room, you can watch a conference on the plane on your way to somewhere nice and then really enjoy your destination once you arrive.
- The ArmchairMedical Apps allow you to save lectures to your phone or tablet before you get on a plane, so you can watch them on board without wifi.
- Choose your favourite conference to enjoy while your family watch Bluey or Top Gun.
- Our playback speed options mean you can watch an entire 2 day conference during a single 6 hour flight.
- Then, once you arrive at your holiday destination, it's 100% family time.
- The ArmchairMedical App coupled with long plane flights will change your life.
What do our members say?
"I needed a source for quality, unsponsored professional development to listen to in my car when driving....Variety and regular updates are great....Unbiased up to date research based medical information on demand."
GP registrar large outer metro practice
"These are certainly more valuable than attending drug company dinner/powerpoint presentations in my opinion....these are lectures that could form a basis for group practice clinical meetings, particularly in regional and rural settings....(armchairmedical) provide (s) access to current information at a very reasonable price without having to leave home."

"I find the website and videos are very useful specially the ones that more related to my everyday practice including emergency...I joined because it saved me time to go to those meetings so I can see video in the morning before shaving!
I think the website and videos are very useful and I recommend them."
