South West Health Professionals Network launches on Wednesday 26 June

The South West Health Professionals Network (SWHPN) has been developed to create a forum and on-line portal to support health professionals in the South West.  Recent findings indicate that local connectedness, support, camaraderie and professional relationships are lacking among regional health professionals which impacts maintaining a stable health workforce.  The Network will provide face to face as well as online opportunities for professional development and networking.
 
GP down south are working with WACHS, SWAMS, WAGPET, Rural Clinical School, Rural Health West and WAPHA who have provided the initial funding to get the project underway. 
 
The Network will be launched on Wednesday 26 June, at the Undalup Room at the City of Busselton where the new website will be revealed.  It will also be a great opportunity to network with other health professionals in the region.
