General practice
Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (EMPHN) supports general practices as the cornerstone of primary healthcare in our community.
Central to our vision of better health outcomes for everyone in the region, is the enhancement of primary care, with a particular focus on general practice and strengthening primary care systems and capabilities.
EMPHN supports improved accessibility and quality of primary health care delivered by general practices via educational initiatives, training programs and the implementation of digital health systems.
Our work with primary health care providers boosts their capacity to effectively address the needs of the community and improve their health outcomes.
Our approach involves:
- Collaborating closely with primary care providers to understand and identify their needs and the appropriate supports.
- Delivering training to build capability.
- Equipping primary care providers with innovative tools and resources designed to facilitate the delivery of optimal care practices.
