The gpx experience, in their words

Education matters. So does the experience around it. Hear directly from the doctors who joined us in Colombo.

What delegates & faculty said

From gpx 2026 · Colombo, Sri Lanka

It's been a wonderful experience — really a life-changing experience for me. The education has been wonderful, but it has also given me the opportunity to see Sri Lanka, somewhere I have always wanted to visit. I've been blown away by the country, the people, the food, the smiles and the scenery.

Dr Chris Perry

General Practitioner · Leongatha, VIC

I found it incredible. It was really good and very educational. I got to meet a lot of lovely people and learn from everyone. I especially enjoyed the MBS session and learned a lot about Medicare billing.

Dr Hashinee Weraduwage

General Practitioner · Melbourne, Australia

The content was excellent and delivered really well. I heard so many people talking about the conference almost like it was a family event. People were already comparing it with other conferences they had attended and speaking very highly of this one. You've done a wonderful job.

Dr Vajna Rafeek

General Practitioner · Melbourne, Australia

The topics were very current and there was a lot of discussion around them. I think you have to continue this annually and come back to Sri Lanka.

Dr Gobith Ratnam

General Practitioner · Sri Lanka

It was amazing — I gathered so much more than I expected. There were opportunities to meet both Sri Lankan and Australian GPs, and the topics over the two days were incredibly valuable. Learning about Australian general practice was especially important for someone hoping to work there in the future.

Dr Sachith Liyanagamage

Medical Officer · Sri Lanka

This was an excellent opportunity for us to come back home, see our families and at the same time participate in the conference. We learned a lot — it was a great brush-up and a stimulus to learn more, while also travelling in our own country. I hope this will continue.

Dr Asiri Leelasena

General Practitioner · Perth, Western Australia
