Healthy North Coast Chronic Disease Clinical Society Forum 2023
Together, we can create a healthier North Coast
Chronic Disease impacts everyone involved in managing our populations health. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare estimated that in 2021 almost half of us lived with one or more chronic conditions.
These long-term conditions continue to pose a significant burden on individuals, families, North Coast communities and the healthcare system. The impact of chronic diseases extends beyond physical health, affecting mental well-being and overall quality of life.
GPs, Nurses, Allied Health Professionals and Practice Managers care for the health of North Coast communities by managing chronic diseases in their practice everyday.
Healthy North Coast warmly invites you to join us at your closest Chronic Disease Clinical Society Forum.
The forum will be held in two locations: Port Macquarie and Lismore.

A word from our GP Medical Educators...
"From health issues such as Long Covid, through to heart and lung disease to diabetes and arthritis, our population is struggling with a tsunami of ill health and nowhere is that more apparent than on the North Coast of NSW with our aging population.
Please join us in Port Macquarie on 4th November 2023 and Lismore of 19th November 2023, when Healthy North Coast will be hosting a whole day forum around this important issue. Learn about topics relevant to your own professional stream and then come together at the end of the day for a collaborating case study."
