Cancer Australia has launched the Partnerships for culturally safe cancer care grant program, a new $16.9 million initiative aimed at accelerating the delivery of culturally safe cancer care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.

The Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care is seeking help from healthcare providers to increase participation in the national cancer screening programs. 

Some benefits of the quick and easy Primary Sense reports include the ability to access useful and timely information about gaps in patient care.

Workshop gives attendees strategies to help those in need access appropriate services

Registrations are now open for Northern Queensland Primary Health Network’s (NQPHN’s) Essential Skills Regional Road Show for general practice, with in-person workshops held in Cairns, Townsville, and Mackay throughout August and September. 

The Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) and Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) have joined forces to support primary care nurses working in general practice, Aboriginal Medical Services (AMSs), and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) in North Queensland to reach their full potential and succeed in their career! 

As the new financial year begins, the majority of North Queensland’s general practices are now fully transitioned to Primary Sense – the new data extraction and clinical decision support tool that has replaced CAT4 and TopBar.
