Essentials of Primary Health Care Workshop – Online

The Essentials of Primary Health Care Workshop is a comprehensive one-day program designed to equip nurses with the foundational knowledge and practical skills required to thrive in diverse primary health care settings. Delivered virtually via Zoom, this interactive workshop is tailored for nurses at all career stages—whether new to primary health care, seeking a refresher, or aiming to expand their expertise. Participants will gain insights into chronic condition management, immunisation practices, the Australian health care system, and professional practice standards. The workshop emphasizes patient-centred care, ethical and legal responsibilities, and effective clinical assessment and triage. Infection prevention and wound management modules provide practical strategies for safeguarding patient health and ensuring optimal outcomes. By engaging in case studies, discussions, and applied learning, nurses will strengthen their ability to deliver proactive, evidence-based care across aged care, community health, custodial, schools, and general practice environments. The program also highlights the role of APNA in supporting professional development, accreditation, and ongoing education pathways. Importantly, this is not a passive webinar—participants will actively engage in interactive sessions, fostering collaboration and peer learning. No recordings will be available, ensuring a dynamic, real-time learning experience. By the end of the workshop, attendees will leave with enhanced confidence, updated knowledge, and practical tools to elevate their practice in primary health care. This workshop represents a valuable opportunity to invest in professional growth while contributing to the broader mission of strengthening Australia’s primary health care workforce.
