As PHNs work largely behind the scenes to support general practices and other primary health providers, many patients are unaware that they are attending a Murray PHN funded service.
Murray PHN’s work is informed through the collection and analysis of data, which may take many pieces in order to build a complete picture and understand the reasons behind it.
Our online Health Voices community has been assisting us with our understanding of health needs since June 2017.
From time-to-time Health Voices are asked to contribute their knowledge, experience and ideas of the local health system, to help inform our funding and planning decisions. By listening to the consumer and health professional voices, ensures that our funding is as targeted and tailored as possible, and that we are investing in communities and services where it’s needed most.
