Welcome to Brisbane Local Medical Association (BLMA)
The Brisbane Local Medical Association (BLMA) has it roots in the long standing Northside Local Medical Association (NLMA) which had been operation since 1992.
In late 2019, the long standing committee of the NLMA made a strategic decision to change its name to the Brisbane Local Medical Association Inc. to incorporate membership and educational events on both sides of the city.
The aim of the BLMA is to provide a unique environment to connect all Doctors across Brisbane – whether you are a GP, a non GP Specialist, a doctor working in the public sector, a Doctor in Training, a GP Registrar or a Retired Doctor.
BLMA facilitates this by:
- Hosting educational events, incorporating dinner, featuring speakers to inform you of the latest advances in medicine
- Ensuring high quality topics that qualify for CPD requirements
- Keeping members informed of the latest news and events in the area
- Publishing the BLMA Newsletter called “Synapse” to distribute to its membership six times a year (with free classified advertisements for members)
- Keeping members informed of latest medico political advocacy and happenings both at State and Commonwealth level
- Fostering relationships with the public and private hospitals, PHNs, neighbouring Local Medical Associations and our partners
- Forging a close association with other medical associations and stakeholders (e.g. Colleges of General Practitioners, Specialist Colleges, Salaried Doctors Associations and AMA Queensland)
- Organising educational workshops for Doctors in Training for upskilling clinical skills and knowledge
- Maintaining our website that contains news, links (including COVID 19 information), an up to date private membership directory, information on forthcoming events and other useful resources for our members
- Providing an environment where Doctors of Brisbane can get to know each other and enjoy the camaraderie in an informal setting
To join as a member of BLMA you must be a doctor.
