Have a say on medical workforce strategy

 
Do you have an interest in helping to shape planning for the future medical workforce?

As part of the consultation process around the Department of Health’s National Medical Workforce Strategy, a webinar is being held on February 17 to help explore and refine the potential solutions to the priority medical workforce issues that have been identified.

The presenters will be the Chief Medical Officer of Australia, Prof Brendan Murphy, and the principal medical advisor for the project, Dr Susan Wearne.

The strategy is being developed to:

• Guide medical workforce planning activities at all levels of government.
• Match the supply of GPs, non-GP specialists and consultant physicians to the predicted medical service needs of the community.
• Identify achievable, practical actions to build a sustainable, highly trained medical workforce.
