The University of Sydney has been commissioned by the Australian Government Department of Health to undertake stakeholder consultation. The consultation will inform the development of questions about disability, for possible inclusion in a voluntary patient registration (VPR) form for general practice.
The Australian Government plans to introduce VPR so that people can choose to register with their regular general practice and nominate their preferred General Practitioner. The VPR form will include optional questions to record selected information about patients, including disability. It is important for multiple stakeholders to have input into how patient disability information is captured in the VPR form.
Participation involves a time commitment of approximately 1.5 hours, allowing an hour for focus group (or interview) participation and 30 minutes for email communications (e.g., providing your Participant Consent Form) and completing the online questionnaire. For more information, see the participant information statement.
If you are interested in participating, please email Ms Imelda Noti by Wednesday 22 September: [email protected]
