The Primary Care Workforce Team operates across three key areas, which support the development and sustainability of the primary care workforce:
- Workforce Strategy – shapes the understanding of the primary care landscape through collecting and analysing data to identify shortages, gaps and needs.
- Workforce Engagement – building relationships with students, registrars, nurses and allied health professionals, and commissioning access to health services such as Urgent Care.
- Workforce Development – providing education and professional development opportunities for clinicians
