The contribution of nurses – in particular the 460 nurses who work in general practice across our region – will be celebrated on International Nurses Day on Wednesday, 12 May.
This year’s theme is: Nurses: A Voice to Lead – Invest in Nursing and respect rights to secure global health.
One third of general practices in South Western Sydney employ a practice nurse. SWSPHN’s practice nursing program is designed to support nurses working in general practice.
During the past year SWSPHN has been highlighting the work of our practice nurses through profiles in our general practice newsletter. You can read more about the role of nurses in general practice on our website, with links provided below.
Read three of our profiles:
Kimberley Moutia – Gandangara Health Services in Liverpool
Alec El-achrafi – Campbelltown GP-led respiratory clinic
Jean Cristobal – Myhealth Medical Centre Fairfield
We’d like to thank our compassionate, professional and committed practice nurses for the important contribution to improving the health outcomes of our community.
