FAQs about the Primary Care Forum

The Pri­ma­ry Care Forum is a vir­tu­al forum held three times a year by the Pri­ma­ry Care Statewide Clin­i­cal Net­work (SCN).

It brings togeth­er clin­i­cians, pri­ma­ry care health ser­vices and sys­tem part­ners to share ideas, dis­cuss emerg­ing issues and learn what’s hap­pen­ing across pri­ma­ry care in South Australia.

Peo­ple work­ing across the pri­ma­ry health care sys­tem can participate.

This includes:

• pri­ma­ry care clin­i­cians, includ­ing gen­er­al prac­ti­tion­ers, nurs­es and allied health

• sys­tem improvement
• not-for-prof­it organ­i­sa­tions work­ing across the pri­ma­ry care sector.
