About the network 

The Pri­ma­ry Care Statewide Clin­i­cal Net­work (PC SCN) is a new net­work in South Aus­tralia focused on strength­en­ing pri­ma­ry health care. It builds on the work of the pre-exit­ing pri­ma­ry health care sub­com­mit­tee and will bring togeth­er clin­i­cians, pri­ma­ry care prac­ti­tion­ers, con­sumers and stake­hold­ers from across the state.

The net­work aims to strength­en pri­ma­ry health care across South Aus­tralia by improv­ing access, inte­gra­tion with hos­pi­tals, and pre­ven­ta­tive care strategies.

Why this matters

Pri­ma­ry care is usu­al­ly the first point of con­tact for most patients and a key part of a coor­di­nat­ed health sys­tem. Strong pri­ma­ry care helps improve equi­ty, reduce avoid­able hos­pi­tal admis­sions, sup­port peo­ple with chron­ic con­di­tions, and ease pres­sure on emer­gency departments.
