VicREN: ‘Informing Future Models of Care’ interactive discussion series
General practice has recently seen innovation and swift adaptation of models of care. With the government’s ten-year primary care plan being developed, it’s time to act to influence the future models of care that will be adopted to best serve the population and GP workflow.
VicREN, the Department of General Practice’s primary care practice-based Research and Education Network has established a series of interactive online forums on Future Models of Care related to general practice and community health. The first on 23rd June 2020 brings together VicREN members and others to share experiences and opinions on telehealth, to inform research, education and advocacy efforts around this topic.
