Current Initiatives
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented uptake in telehealth across our region in both primary and specialist services and across urban as well as rural and remote settings. This has been driven by necessity in terms of the need for reduced face-to-face contact and supported by national and regional interventions.
With current global travel restrictions, the Postgraduate Overseas Specialist Training (POST) Program has engaged in a number of initiatives to explore this opportunity to facilitate peer exchange, remote training of clinicians, as well as mentoring and Communities of Practice.
