 Connecting care - Big Ideas, Local Solutions

Wednesday 3 to Saturday 6 November 2010, Perth Convention Exhibition Centre

The AGPN Forum is Australia's premier primary health care forum – and it’s now more important than ever. 

Be front and centre in the debate on National Health Reform and the implications for the General Practice Network, the broader primary health care sector, and the Australian health system.

Australia’s future general practice and primary health care system is to be built on and around primary health care organisations (PHCOs) which are to be created from the existing General Practice Network. Join our National Forum in November to be involved in discussion on:

-      What are the key aspects of health reform and how will they result in better Connecting Care?

-      What does driving primary health care reform mean for stakeholders?

-      What progress has been made with establishing the first round of PHCOs – and what are the implications for those that are
       to follow soon afterwards?

-      What are the critical success factors in transformational primary health care change?

-      What future models of care will result in better health outcomes?

-      How do we embrace reform while ensuring ongoing member engagement and support?

-      What are the characteristics of new or enhanced partnerships essential to engage others central to primary health care
        reform – including nurses, allied health, community health, Local Hospital Networks and the Aboriginal Community 
       Controlled Health Sector – as well as consumers and other community groups?

-      What systems and processes are required to enable integrated care to best meet the needs of communities and
        individuals?

-      Untapped potential: what are the opportunities to better integrate health and social care through PHCOs?

Who should attend?

Given the scope and breadth of the reform agenda, this year’s Forum is vital to an even broader range of participants:

-      Network members and others engaged in health service planning and delivery, including nursing, allied health, community
        health, those involved in the future Local Hospital Networks

-      Other government and non-government organisations with an interest in health care improvement, social determinants of
        health and prevention

-      Policy makers, funders and researchers

-      Consumers of health services

-      Those involved in, or wishing to be involved in, organising and supporting primary health care systems and infrastructure
        throughout the country

-      Overseas delegates interested in gaining an insider’s view of Australia’s far reaching health reforms
