Capital Health Network

The CHN Education Program aims to increase knowledge, develop clinical skills and enhance the way in which health care is delivered and health professionals are supported. Over the last year, CHN delivered 57 events to over 6,053 primary health care professionals. This represents a significant increase of over 140% in attendees, compared to the previous year. Of these events, 16 were face-to-face training sessions, with the remaining 41 events delivered online.

Having held all events online the previous year, the easing of COVID-19 restrictions enabled a return to face-to-face delivery and with it the additional benefit of providing networking opportunities for primary care professionals, as well as education. A range of topics were covered including immunisation and COVID-19 updates, digital health, obesity management and a return of the popular Maternity Services Day with over 80 attendees for the full-day, face-to-face event.

There was an increased focus on integrated care, with CHN actively encouraging Allied Health Professional attendance at events. The popular Practice Connect event for Practice Managers and Practice Nurses was opened up to include Allied Health professionals. Two of these events focused on the integration between general practices and allied health providers, in relation to chronic disease management.
