The role requires you to:

• Attend these meetings once a month and provide a report to CESPHN outlining any issues raised that relate to CESPHN’s role.
• Be a representative for CESPHN – inform them of CESPHN’s services and give updates on what is happening at CESPHN, etc.
• Provide a GP perspective to matters discussed.
• Look for opportunities for collaboration and improvements between primary health and hospitals.
• Provide a short report soon after the meeting, outlining any issues raised and recommendations for follow-up for CESPHN.
