We are thrilled to have 50 Residential Aged Care Homes in the Far West and Western NSW region participating in a healthdirect After Hours General Practitioner (AHGP) support trial. The pilot provides a dedicated after hours phoneline for registered and enrolled nurses in participating RACHs. The service is intended for use when a) the patient’s condition or health concern cannot wait for the patient’s regular GP, and b) they are not unwell enough for the emergency department. Calls are triaged and e-scripts for some medications are possible. If you are from a RACH in the region and would like to know more please reach out to us by emailing agedcare@wnsw.phn.org.au #AgedCare #healthdirect #AfterHours
