NPS partnering with the general practice network

We work with 117 of the 118 networks and divisions of general practice around Australia. The goal of these partnerships is to optimise uptake of Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) Programs for health professionals through local implementation.

Our local program activities include:

• educational visiting (academic detailing) and small-group case-based discussion for GPs on therapeutic topics that are linked to national activities and resources
• interactive workshops and seminars to promote development of critical appraisal skills relevant to prescribing of medicines for GPs
• communication on QUM issues for GPs
• inclusion of pharmacists and other community health professionals in program delivery
• supporting community workshops on medicines and peer education programs about medicines for seniors
• raising QUM issues in local media.
