The PHN is dedicated to helping the communities in the Hunter New England and Central Coast region. There is a strong commitment in delivering innovative and collaborative solutions in the prevention and management of Chronic Kidney Disease.
Here you will be able to find resources and information that will assist your practice in the implementation of these strategies, alongside the development and integration of quality improvement activities for Chronic Kidney Disease to use in Primary Health Care.
For Chronic Kidney Disease support please contact your Primary Care Improvement Officer (PCIO).
Data and Dashboard
