Does any of this sound familiar?
Being a rural doctor means doing it all.
Long hours, complex cases, covering emergencies, and supporting a close-knit community that relies on you.
On top of that, you're juggling family life and the constant pressure to keep up with the latest in medical care.
It is difficult to leave town to attend traditional conferences.
The travel, the costs, the time away from home.
That’s why the ArmchairMedical.tv Virtual Conference Pass is designed with rural GPs in mind.
Access high-quality, evidence-based medical conferences, on demand, anytime, anywhere.
No need to leave your practice, your patients, or your family.
This is flexible, relevant education that works around your schedule - not the other way around.
You want to stay up to date, but Australia's Medical Conference System doesn't make it easy for Regional or Rural GPs!
Conferences a long way from home are major barriers
With overflowing clinics, on-call duties, and being the go-to for everything from skin checks to mental health, regional and rural GPs are stretched thin.
Attending major conferences usually means flights, time off work, and days away from home.
For some GPs, attending can mean closing the clinic, finding a locum (if one can be found) or forcing extra workloads on your colleagues, and leaving family for more time apart. That sacrifice is rarely practical, or fair.
Family and Practice Come First
Limited locum availability and a full clinic to run, mean many regional and rural GPs simply can’t step away for a multi-day event.
Add in young kids, aging parents, or social commitments, and the idea of flying interstate for a weekend conference starts to feel impractical.
And One Conference Isn’t Enough
As a GP, you’re expected to cover everything: chronic disease, acute care, mental health, paediatrics, aged care, and more.
Our Australian medical conferences are world class, however most focus on a narrow topic, meaning you’d need to attend several events each year to truly stay up to date, and that’s just not realistic when every trip involves giving up your weekends or travelling for several hours.
You are not alone.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to balance life in the country with staying up to date, you’re not the only one.
Many rural GPs have felt that same pressure - the long hours, the guilt of falling behind, the frustration of needing, but not wanting, to get away for conferences.
But there is a solution.
More and more rural doctors are turning to flexible, on-demand conference education that fits into their lives - rather than scheduling their lives around conferences.
Imagine only tuning into the very best lectures.
The ones everyone’s talking about.
From Australia’s top medical conferences.
No filler, no wasted time. Just the most relevant, engaging content, delivered straight to your phone or screen.
You’re catching the latest updates while walking the dog, on the exercise bike, or eating lunch in your practice.
It’s education that fits your life. Effortless, flexible, and finally enjoyable.
You're learning smarter, not harder.
More Mental Space, Less Daily Pressure
With the right information delivered clearly and conveniently, decision-making becomes easier.
You’re no longer second-guessing.
There’s a quiet confidence in knowing you’ve already heard the latest - and it frees up headspace for what matters most.
Confidence Without Burnout
Instead of constantly worrying about falling behind, you feel sharp and up to date. Without sacrificing family time or your own wellbeing.
You’re no longer squeezing in learning at the cost of the rest; it’s become part of your rhythm.
Reconnection With Your Professional Self
Learning becomes energising again. Not a chore.
You feel part of the wider medical community, connected to your purpose, and proud of your growth.
That sense of isolation fades, replaced by momentum and meaning.
If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for: more confidence, less stress, and a smarter way to stay current. You’re in exactly the right place.
The ArmchairMedical.tv Virtual Conference Pass was created with rural doctors like you in mind - busy, dedicated, and deserving of education that fits your life, not disrupts it.

About Armchair Medical
We believe that easy access to quality, independent conference education shouldn't depend upon your post code.
ArmchairMedical.tv is a purpose-built medical education platform designed to make it easier for time-poor doctors (especially those in rural and regional areas), to stay up to date with the latest in clinical knowledge.
Without the need to travel or give up personal time.
Instead of flying to conferences, shutting your clinic, arranging locum cover or sacrificing weekends, ArmchairMedical.tv brings the most useful, most relevant sessions from leading Australian medical conferences straight to you.
With a focus on on-demand learning, you can watch content whenever it suits you. At home, over lunch, even while walking or on the exercise bike.
Here's what makes the Virtual Conference Pass different:
(And Why Rural Doctors Have Embraced It)
You don’t need to leave town
Access hundreds of recorded conferences and three new ones each month without travel or locum cover.
Time efficient learning
Speed up playback and fit sessions into the small gaps in your day.
Easily 'attend' multiple conferences per month and maintain your broad rural scope of practice.
Stay confident and current
Hear directly from Australia's best clinicians and clinician researchers with content tailored to general practice and rural medicine.
Built for your reality
No rigid schedules, no hotel bookings, no weekends lost.
Just learning that fits around your life.
The ArmchairMedical.tv Virtual Conference Pass is a good fit for:
🩺 Rural and Regional GPs
Doctors who can’t easily attend in-person conferences due to distance, clinic responsibilities, or lack of locum cover - but still want to stay clinically sharp and current.
🕒 Time-Poor Practitioners
GPs, specialists, or registrars balancing full clinic loads, family life, and on-call duties. If you rarely have time for live webinars or full-day events, this platform gives you control.
🧠 Self-Directed Learners
Doctors who prefer to learn in short bursts, on demand, and at their own pace - whether it’s 20 minutes on your treadmill, 15 minutes at lunch or an hour after dinner.
🩺GPs Maintaining a Broad Scope of Practice
From mental health to emergency care, rural GPs need variety. Access diverse topics in one place, on demand.
👨👩👧👦 Balancing Medicine with Family Life
Weekends are for your kids, not hotel conference rooms. Learn without missing what matters most.
💸 Practitioners Looking for Cost-Effective Education
No flights, no accommodation, no time off - just high quality learning at a fraction of the cost.
