Kelli Babovic is a Primary Health Coordinator with Healthy North Coast.
Kelli is the first point of contact for partner organisations and professionals who want to improve joint health outcomes in the Tweed Valley region. She acknowledges the tremendous efforts and commitment of all primary health workers supporting our communities through the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘We’re really excited to give back to our local primary healthcare providers with a face-to-face, end-of year event,’ Kelli said.
‘The Tweed Valley Clinical Society is a forum in which local clinicians can come together to network and connect over dinner, while gaining some education. We look forward to a night of knowledge sharing, socialising and end-of-year cheer, with time to discuss the educational needs of our region. Jessica, Mary, Michelle and Dr Chris Wetherall will kick off the evening by sharing with us some of the strategies they’ve been using to mobilise quick responses to change. I’m looking forward to hearing what you’ve been up to over the past year.’
What to expect
The event will kick off at 6 pm with networking and canapes, so we ask that you please arrive early to sign in.
All attendees must comply with the NSW Government order (effective 11 October 2021) stating that no unvaccinated person (over the age of 16) is allowed into hospitality premises. Please have confirmation of your vaccinated status handy on arrival.
Once signed in, we encourage you to mingle. This is a great way to get to know the faces of your referrals, introduce yourself and connect with your local clinical community. It’s been a while since we were all face to face!
Our guest speakers will be talking about ways they have adapted to the challenges of the pandemic. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and share your own strategies for responding to change – a chance to reflect on both challenges and achievements.
After dinner, the Healthy North Coast Education Team will talk you through the local CPD needs assessment, which identifies perceived training needs. This will be an opportunity for you to share any additional ideas around CPD education.
Next, Healthy North Coast will share with you the draft 2022 Healthy North Coast CPD calendar, focusing on the role of clinical societies. We’ll be talking to you about what we’ve identified as the most frequently asked for integrated care learning opportunities and then you can help us to flesh out what these sessions might look like.
Throughout the evening there will be plenty of time for both group and open discussion and after dessert there is time reserved for further networking.
Register now and encourage your colleagues to come along too by sharing the flyer. Registrations close Tuesday 9 November.
