A decade on from Labor’s bold vision to fix the healthcare system, hospitals are grappling with huge deficits while wait times have increased for surgery and in emergency ­departments. https://lnkd.in/g6g7AZhF Jillian Tomlinson

Great to represent AMA Victoria at this afternoon's General Practice Innovation Grants Co-design Workshop. The workshop, convened by the Victorian Department of Health, brought together key stakeholders to help shape the grants program, focusing on guiding its scope, project specifications, and measures of success for proof-of-concept projects. The grants aim to: - Improve health and wellbeing outcomes for specific populations. - Reduce emergency department presentations and prevent avoidable hospital admissions. - Demonstrate the value of integration across the patient care pathway by addressing gaps between general practice and other health services. It’s encouraging to see the commitment to supporting innovative, patient-centered approaches in general practice, and AMA Victoria looks forward to seeing the impact of this important work on Victoria’s healthcare system.
