General practices across WA gained valuable insights to help them successfully navigate the rapidly changing landscape of primary care reform across two recent events hosted by WA Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA).
Watch the highlights of the workshop and hear participant feedback:
GPs and practice teams heard about practical strategies and tools, how their peers are implementing innovative ways of working, and guidance on embedding Strengthening Medicare measures that can help them improve patient care and operational sustainability.
Co-hosted by primary care innovation, policy and reform expert, Dr Walid Jammal, and internationally recognised expert in patient-centred medical homes and health care system transformation, Dr Kirsten Meisinger, the events attracted 121 attendees from across the state, reflecting the widespread interest in futureproofing general practice across WA.
The facilitators guided participants through the intention behind the reforms, what GPs can expect, and practical ways to adapt without compromising clinical outcomes.
Attendees also had the chance to hear global insights on evolving models of care, quality improvement, and sustainability in a shifting funding environment.
WAPHA regularly runs events and webinars aimed at general practice teams, so keep an eye for more opportunities out in our publications.
