GP Engage
Fiona Stanley Fremantle Hospitals Group (FSFHG) is committed to working closely with general practitioners (GPs) to:
- improve patient care as patients move between hospital and community care
- provide excellent service delivery.
Our GP Engage program events provide valuable opportunities for local primary care professionals such as GPs and nurse practitioners to learn about hospital priorities, processes and programs affecting shared care.
The events blend education, Q&A sessions and networking opportunities. Continuing professional development (CPD) content (self-logged) may be recorded after each event, with an attendance certificate provided.
To register interest in future events, please email SMHS Health Pathways.
