QLD:AMA launches Find a Doctor app

By Steve Gray

BRISBANE, Dec 15 AAP - Travellers across Australia will be able to find a doctor with
the touch of a button thanks to an initiative of the Australian Medical Association in
Queensland.

Doctors on Wednesday launched a new computer app - Find a Doctor - which will locate
the nearest general practice.

AMAQ President Gino Tecararo said the iPhone app should be particularly popular with
families taking holidays this Christmas.

"No matter whether you're in Broome or Barcaldine this free app will quickly calculate
your closest GP any time, anywhere", Dr Tecararo said.

"It's as simple as clicking on the Find A Doctor icon to locate a doctor nearest to
you, selecting a phone number and making an appointment.

"People moving house, holiday makers, travellers and day trippers will all want to
have this portable directory in their back pocket", he said.

To download the free Find a Doctor App, visit the Apple iPhone application store at
www.apple.com/au/iphone/apps-for-iphone/ or visit www.amafindadoctor.com.au.
