There is considerable potential for future integration of General Practice and State funded services through a Primary Health Care Network with the evolution of general practice multidisciplinary teams.  In late 2005 this potential became a reality with funding of ANEDGP from CNAHS for three capacity building strategies.  The objective of the capacity building projects is to address chronic condition management in a systematic manner in order to improve long term outcomes and reduce hospitalisation caused by disease complications.  The three pilot programs  involve increased education and training for practice nurses in eight practices, increased access to allied health services in five practices in improving use of chronic disease data in two practices. Includes Forum audiovisual services and speaker support. To effectively support general practice we need to focus on the whole of practice approach, including: GPs, Practice staff, business systems, information management and technology and the extended community role.  Our future role will be to support general practice in dealing with issues such as the ageing population and the increasing chronic and complex needs of the population.  Mental health will also need to be a key focus for the future given the level of need identified in the community.  Areas for future development include: Exclusive sponsorship of audio-visual services at the Forum.
