Participating Practices Finalised

The 24 practices who will participate in Phase 1 of the project have now been finalised. Eight of these are in NSW, and the remaining 16 in Victoria.
Many thanks to all those practices who expressed an interest in participating. The project attracted lots of interest and was oversubscribed with practices wanting to be involved - unfortunately we were unable to include everybody - but the level of enthusiasm is really encouraging.
A big thank you also to those Divisions who assisted so willingly with the recruitment process.
The group of study practices includes a mix of rural, urban, remote, large and small, with a wide range of nursing models. Rapid appraisal visits to these practices have already commenced and will continue over the next couple of months.
