Monday 30 October | 11:00-12:30


Primary care reform is underway in Australia and the Medicare Strengthening Taskforce has recommended system reform will also need to be carefully designed and support change management and cultural change. The central role of PHNs and practice managers is clear and need for clinical leadership established. This interactive workshop facilitated by internationally recognised clinical and managerial primary care leaders will focus on two key areas – the psychology of change and involvement of consumers and carers for authentic codesign. Taking an action planning approach facilitators will present key concepts with case studies and exemplars and invite participants to reflect, adapt and adopt the concepts.
