Living with COVID-19 workshops held across North Queensland

Over the past few weeks, NQPHN has collaborated with primary care service providers and Queensland Health to bring together key health professionals in workshops to commence planning the next stage of the ongoing pandemic – living with COVID-19.

The sessions have allowed both face-to-face and online attendance, with an impressive number of total participants in each region to date:

  • Cairns (150+ attendees)
  • Townsville (160+ attendees from two sessions)
  • Mackay (60 attendees)

The workshops have been a great opportunity for health experts to collaborate on a whole-of-system approach to protect the wider community as borders reopen and international travel resumes.

A huge thanks to GPs, pharmacies, and local Hospital and Health Services for taking part in these vital, ongoing discussions.
