Thank you to our dedicated health and aged care workforce: As Melbourne battles COVID-19 in the community and we move to Stage Four restrictions, I would like to acknowledge the tireless work of our healthcare professionals, aged care workers and those who support them. I know I speak for all Fellows and Members of the Institute when I convey our heartfelt support, and hopes that infections are brought under control very soon and that the other states continue to manage community transmission.
#FindYourTribe #VirtualCare
: Fellows and Members of the Institute get together to share their knowledge and expertise through six digital health
communities of practice
on topical fields of interest. Now, the Institute is launching a seventh community to provide a meeting place for discussion and developments in virtual care. Interest in telehealth and new models of virtual care has been gathering momentum especially in the past few months of pandemic.
The new dedicated community on virtual care will be strategically aligned to the Institute’s mission of “healthier lives, digitally enabled”. If you are a clinician, consumer, healthcare organisation, developer, healthcare business or a healthcare executive interested in becoming part of this new targeted group, please complete this
Expression of Interest
