How can we help you today?
The key objectives of Primary Health Networks (PHNs) are to:
- increase the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services for patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes
- improve coordination of care to ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
Each PHN must make informed choices about how best to use its resources to achieve these objectives.
These documents, the Activity Work Plans (AWPs), capture those activities.
