EMPHN is seeking new members for its Clinical Council and Community Advisory Committee.

Clinical Council

The EMPHN Clinical Council was established more than 12 months ago and is a GP-led advisory group to the EMPHN Board. The EMPHN Clinical Council has been established to provide a wide and deep reserve of knowledge to facilitate the identification of problems within the primary care sector. It will provide information to assist in finding opportunities to develop better integration of care. It will help maximise broad ongoing clinical engagement within and across the region and will be used to support the decision making of EMPHN. The Clinical Council will influence inter-sector collaboration and advice on the development and monitoring of integrated care pathways, the identification of solutions for service gaps and share best practice ideas.

Community Advisory Committee

The EMPHN Community Advisory Committee was established more than 12 months ago and is an advisory committee to the EMPHN Board. Consistent with the principles of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2), the Committee will provide a conduit to ensure that the Board’s actions are informed by local health consumer and carer experiences and expectations.

The purpose of the Committee is to provide ongoing community perspective and advice to the EMPHN Board to ensure that decisions, investments, and innovations are patient centred, cost-effective, locally relevant, and aligned to local care experiences and expectations.
