Clinical council
The Clinical Council advises the Board on:
- clinical issues that are unique to the needs of the region
- opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of medical and health care services
- population health planning
- commissioning of programs and services that support local and national priorities.
We collaborate with a variety of stakeholders on projects and inform them of new developments and opportunities in primary care.
The Clinical Council comprises health professionals, including a combination of those working within primary care (GPs, practice nurses, practice managers, allied health professionals) and others with strong experience in primary care.
