There’s a new way to find lung cancer early!

If you’re aged 50 to 70 and smoke or have smoked in the past, you might be eligible for the new National Lung Cancer Screening Program.

The scan is quick, free and could save your life.

If you think you might be eligible, have a yarn with you doctor or health worker.

It's good to know!

Vale Emeritus Professor John Murtagh AO

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Emeritus Professor John Murtagh AO – a towering figure in Australian general practice.

His seminal textbook, John Murtagh’s General Practice, guided generations of GPs from medical school through training and beyond. John had a rare gift for making complex concepts and practical procedures clear, accessible and engaging.

His legacy with the College is profound:
• Editor of the RACGP’s scientific journal, Australian Family Physician, for nearly a decade in the 1980s and 1990s
• The RACGP’s John Murtagh Library named in his honour in 2005
• Awarded Life Fellowship of the RACGP in 2007

John was finalising the ninth edition of his textbook when he passed – a testament to his lifelong dedication to teaching and to general practice.

Our deepest sympathies to his wife Jill, his children and the Murtagh family. An era has ended, and his contribution will endure.
