General Practice Support

The MNCDGP General Practice Support program incorporates many services to provide accessible and up-to-date information and resources to support General Practices within the Mid North Coast.

The program delivery is through general practice visits, a help desk, website updates, emails, faxes and the regular "Practice Focus" newsletter. The MNCDGP General Practice Support Officers support GP's and all practice staff in a wide variety of areas relating to General Practice.

The areas of focus for the General Practice Support program include provision of resources for practice accreditation and reaccreditation; Medicare Australia updates; PIPs and SIPs; chronic disease management; medical software templates, data cleansing, practice and human resource management.

The Practice support team also distributes NSW Health communicable disease alerts encourages practices to remind and recall and provide information on the availability of training and education opportunities for all practice staff. The Practice Support team prepares "The Practice Focus".
