Councils and advisory groups
There are also more formal ways for health professionals to contribute to NWMPHN:
Clinical Council
Our Clinical Council consists of 14 representatives across primary and acute health services whose focus is to provide advice and support to better meet the needs of our communities. The Council meets 4 times a year to ensure that everyone’s efforts to strengthen primary health care and connect services across the system are effective.
Expert Advisory Groups
Our Expert Advisory Groups are an invaluable part of our governance structure. They provide subject matter expertise, insights and advice to support operational model and service design, focused on safety, quality and integration.
Please join Primary Care Voices and subscribe to our e-newsletters to be notified of opportunities to join our Clinical Council and Expert Advisory Groups.
