Collaboration aims to improve wound management

Nov 19, 2023

The Agency for Clinical Innovation has partnered with Healthy North Coast Primary Health Network (PHN) and Mid North Coast Local Health District to improve collaboration for wound management across the Mid North Coast community.

The new project will work with General Practices, the Mid North Coast Local Health District wound services and other clinicians in aged and community care to improve and implement wound management HealthPathways.

The project aims to enhance integration of chronic wound management services across all care settings and disciplines by strengthening partnerships, building knowledge about wound management clinical guidelines, and improving local referral and escalation pathways.

The project team has commenced planning and now seeks input from all wound management stakeholders about the barriers they experience and their priorities for the project to work on.

Feedback and involvement in one, or both, of these ways is appreciated:
