The primary care workforce

We support primary care providers through training and education, networking opportunities, and keeping providers informed about changes at a local, state and federal level.

Our role is to:

• improve coordination and communication between existing services
• encourage and support new and expanded services in areas of need
• recast the health system to be centred around the needs of the person, rather than the requirements of health services.

Councils and Advisory Groups

More information about our Clinical Council, General Practice Expert Advisory Group and other ways to get involved is available on our website.

Education

We host regular, virtual and face-to-face networking events for practice managers and practice nurses. These are an opportunity to keep up-to-date, share ideas and learn from your peers. Keep an eye on our events calendar and our e-newsletters for upcoming meetings and networking events.

Networking

Basecamp

We use the Basecamp platform to provide closed online forums for practice managers and nurses in the NWMPHN region. This provides opportunities to connect with peers across the region, anytime and from anywhere. Participants in the Basecamp forums can ask questions, share ideas and discuss topics that are important to the workforce. Questions can often be quickly answered on Basecamp – it is a highly recommended tool for practice managers and nurses.

If you would like to join Basecamp or have any questions, please email education@nwmphn.org.au
