SWSPHN has established a Primary Care Workforce team, recognising the importance of workforce strategy, workforce engagement and workforce development in ensuring general practices across our region are better equipped to deliver quality primary healthcare.
The Primary Care Workforce team is supporting general practices, with a focus on looking for ways to improve access to primary care services through workforce planning, community consultation, commissioning and innovation.
The workforce team is working with all major stakeholders in our region, including public, private and non-government organisations across the health sector, the three tiers of government and alliance members.
This facilitates the collective sharing of evidence, local knowledge and business intelligence by key stakeholders in a bid to counter fragmentation in the health system and assist in developing a strong local healthcare workforce.
The workforce team is also focusing on GP registrars across our region.
We are providing GP registrars with opportunities to engage with their peers and SWSPHN, further develop their skills through Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and fully understand the benefits of practising in South Western Sydney.
