Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN), together with MediCoach, invites Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs), Aboriginal Medical Services (AMSs), and general practice staff to attend a practical 90-minute evening session.
Presented by MediCoach Director Kim Poyner, this practical session will explore how POPGUNS can support effective patient triage in primary care settings.
What we’ll cover:
- what POPGUNS is and how it can be applied at front desk
- recognising red flags that require immediate escalation to a nurse or GP
- working through real-life phone and front counter scenarios
- establishing a clear handover process between reception and clinical staff
- handling patients who wish to be seen immediately.
