Resources & Links
The Resources chapter provides GP and patient information articles, as well as links to other websites of interest. Those patient information articles produced by the NRDGP have been written by local GPs and occasionally health professionals. An editorial committee of four doctors and one journalist reviews each article for medical content and readability before publication.

The division also publishes a Resource Directory, which lists medical and allied health services available in the Northern Rivers.
