The role of the Practice Managers program is to enable sharing knowledge and to maintain a close working relationship across all practices in the network boundaries. The program takes a whole of practice approach by providing information on prevention, chronic disease, information management and communication.
Lunch and Learn:
 |
The Lunch n Learn meetings are held roughly every three months at a local venue or at the Peninsula GP Network office. The above meetings are generally held during the lunch time period of 12.30- 2.30 where a light lunch is also provided. A great opportunity for practice managers to network with other managers within our area and discuss issues in a peer supported environment. |
| Guest speakers are invited to present on topics of interest that are relevant to general practice. Suggestions for topics are most welcome and in fact I encourage managers to email or contact me if they have a topic of interest they would like to learn more about. |
|
| I also encourage any practice managers or staff members for that matter if they have a topic that they feel they would like to present on that other practices would benefit from, to contact me to discuss this opportunity further. |
