Gippsland Primary Health Network (PHN) has released a new Health Insights: Preventing Falls paper, highlighting the growing impact of falls across the region and the need for targeted prevention efforts to support older people to stay safe and independent.
Gippsland-based general practices can now access free, high-quality learning resources to support the safe and effective use of medicines, build clinical skills, strengthen communication and improve patient care.
There are a range of health care apps, online portals, and digital tools available designed to make managing your health simpler, more connected and easier to fit into everyday life.
Gippsland PHN has strengthened Gippsland Pathways by providing registered users with free access to Therapeutic Guidelines, a trusted clinical resource that is only available through paid subscription.
Electronic prescribing is now available across Australia, forming part of a national effort to make accessing medicines safer, more convenient and more connected.
