PFIZER Australia has announced a partnership with Heart of Australia (HoA) mobile health service, to expand its GP Education Program with the aim of improving healthcare delivery in rural and remote parts of Australia.
The HoA GP Education Program provides educational sessions for rural and remote healthcare professionals, including GPs, nurses and pharmacists, offering them the opportunity to learn from specialists and network face-to-face with colleagues.
The sessions focus on increasing knowledge and skills to help improve healthcare services and outcomes in local communities, particularly in rural and First Nations areas.
The program covers a broad range of topics, including cardiology, endocrinology, respiratory and occupational health, with a focus on specific health concerns in the communities it visits.
Utilising custom-designed Heart Trucks, the HoA program has created a more accessible pathway to medical specialists for those who are most at risk for chronic disease.
Each truck is capable of delivering comprehensive radiology, respiratory and specialist services to even the most remote locations across the country.
"We're supporting their patients with ongoing education as well as providing access to equipment many remote medical practices don't have - it can be life-saving for many patients," Pfizer stated.
