Have your say on health in the Murrumbidgee

Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) is seeking public feedback about health in a post-COVID-19 world in an effort to better support the community’s health needs.

MPHN is asking members of the community to share their thoughts on what is important to them about health, and what improvements could be made, as part of a three-week HNA Live campaign.

MPHN CEO Melissa Neal said the feedback received would help to inform how health needs are met in the region.

“Our annual ‘Conversations on the Couch’ activity was unable to proceed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are still eager to hear what people in the Murrumbidgee have to say about healthcare in the region at this time,” Ms Neal said.

“We are particularly interested to learn about people’s experience with telehealth and access to healthcare providers during the pandemic.

“MPHN takes a person-centred approach to identifying the health needs of the people in our region, so the feedback we receive from the community is vital to ensuring we can meet the needs of patients and consumers of healthcare.”

Members of the public have until October 31 to participate in HNA Live, by completing a brief online form.

Ms Neal encouraged people to take a few minutes to submit their feedback and to encourage their family and friends to do the same.

“It really is a unique opportunity for people to tell us what’s working well and what’s not working well in health in the Murrumbidgee,” Ms Neal said.

“The more feedback we receive, the more we can improve health services in the region and look after the health and wellbeing of everyone in our community.”
