Speaker: Dr Eileen Morrisroe, Vascular Surgeon, Coffs Harbour Health Campus, Macksville District Hospital and Baringa Private Hospital
Ingrid Siversten is a Primary Health Coordinator for Healthy North Coast.
Ingrid is the first point of contact for partner organisations and professionals who want to improve joint health outcomes in the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen 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,’ said Ingrid.
‘The Coffs Harbour & Bellingen 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 hear from a new vascular surgeon in the area.’
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 first presentation will be delivered by Dr Eileen Morrisroe, a vascular surgeon who recently commenced work at Coffs Harbour Health Campus, Macksville District Hospital and Baringa Private Hospital. Dr Morrisroe will be talking to us about the local services and facilities now available for managing arterial and venous disorders in Coffs Harbour and the surrounding regions. She’ll also help you explore the challenging structure for management of wound care in the community.
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 next year’s first clinical society event might look like.
Throughout the evening, there will be plenty of time for both group and open discussion.
Register now and encourage your colleagues to come along too by sharing the flyer. We rely on your word of mouth to get this invitation out.
Who should attend?
GPs, GP registrars, allied health, practice nurses and staff, service coordinators and any primary care professionals who are managing arterial and venous disorders, interested in education or getting to know other local clinicians.
COVID-19 safety
