Capital Health Network

CHN builds capacity across the health system by: 

• championing the role of primary care within the ACT health system 
• promoting and sharing best practice, evidence-informed and innovative models of care 
• facilitating education and training for health care professionals working in primary care 
• utilising and promoting the use of local data to drive high-quality, future-focused, sustainable primary care. 

We’ve supported the valuable local primary health care workforce through education and training, continuous quality improvement and tailored support. We ran pilots to increase the capacity of general practice to support people with complex multimorbidity and frequent hospital use and, in another pilot, those who experience family, domestic or sexual violence. We supported residential aged care homes to have enhanced access to GPs and Pharmacists. To increase the usage of digital health tools, we collaborated with primary health care professionals. You can see below how we continued to build capacity across the health system.
