Primary healthcare professionals, including GPs, practice nurses and allied health professionals are invited to register to learn more about increasing cultural safety in their practice.
In the North Coast PHN 2021 Community Survey, 32% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants said they stopped or delayed getting health care because they were unable to access culturally safe services.
As health professionals, ensuring our practice is culturally safe is essential to increasing First Nation Peoples access to health services and ultimately closing the gap.
Healthy North Coast is offering cultural safety training sessions for health professionals from June to August in Angourie, Port Macquarie, Lismore and Byron Bay.
Delivered in partnership with Ochre and Salt and Corporate Culcha, each session will be delivered in three parts, combining both self-paced online and face-to-face learning. The training is RACGP and ACRRM accredited for 7 CPD Hours.
