Adelaide PHN engages and commissions a range of education providers to deliver professional development and training opportunities, in addition to directly coordinating and delivering workforce education and capacity building support. The aim is to provide the primary healthcare workforce of our region with activities to maintain, improve and broaden knowledge, expertise and competence, and develop the personal and professional qualities required, in line with our national and local priorities. These opportunities are available for all primary health care providers and can be accessed on our website, and through our electronic communication channels.
