Ambulatory Care - Victorian Government Health Information, Australia

Ambulatory Care

Care in your community represents a significant change in how health care will be delivered in the future. It is a vehicle for building the capacity of the Victorian health care system to deliver person-centred health care in community settings, reducing the need for in-patient care, and improving the health outcomes of Victorians.

Care in your community Carer and Consumer Workshop

The Care in your community Carer and Consumer Workshop was held on 27 April, 2007.

The Workshop was well attended with attendees representing both carer and consumer perspectives.

Heather Wellington and Alison Hallahan from the team of consultants engaged to work with the implementation of Care in your community facilitated the workshop.

The Workshop provided carer and consumer representatives and relevant peak bodies with:

an update/information on the Care in your community integrated area-based trials; and

an opportunity to advise on future Carer and Consumer engagement in integrated area-based planning.

The consultants have prepared a report on the Workshop.
