About the network

The Rural Generalist Obstetric Network (RGON) connects rural generalist obstetricians throughout Queensland.

We hold events for our members at least 4 times a year. Events include social, educational and membership meetings where you can:

  • build social and professional connections
  • present cases for peer review
  • learn from experts and each other
  • gain CPD points.

Our sessions are interesting and challenging. We have lively and thoughtful discussions.

Meetings are chaired and facilitated by:

  • Dr David Barker, a practising RGO in Beaudesert
  • Dr Adam Bush, a FRANZCOG specialist in Brisbane and director of the flying obstetrics and gynaecology service based out of Roma.

How to join

You can join our network if you’re a practising rural generalist obstetrician.
