Clinical Councils

Clinical leadership is critically important to improving the effectiveness of health care outcomes

Role of our Clinical Councils

The role of the Clinical Councils is to provide the Board of the Primary Health Network with locally relevant perspectives on clinical issues that impact on the unique needs of our local communities.

There are three Clinical Councils who represent our Primary Health Network region:

New England North West
Hunter Manning
Central Coast

Clinical Councils are GP-led and include members from other primary health care professions who assist us to develop local strategies to improve the operation of the health care system for patients.

Membership of the Council includes participants from a cross-section of primary health and represents a variety of practice settings, experiences, expertise and disciplines. A Primary Health Network Board member representative also sits on each Council and is tasked with reporting recommendations and issues to the Board for consideration.
