Next Practice Deakin

The Progress by Design report is now published, and we are proud to be featured in it.

Produced by The George Institute for Global Health, UNSW, and collaborators including Next Practice Deakin, the report draws on a national roundtable of clinicians, policymakers, consumers and researchers who have been building team-based models of care across Australia.

The central finding: the capability for genuine primary care reform already exists within the sector. What is missing is the system architecture and leadership to support it.

Next Practice Deakin is included as a case study, recognised for our approach to GP-led, genuinely team-based care built on shared purpose, trust, and a physical environment designed around the patient and the team rather than the individual practitioner.

This is the model of care we have believed in since we opened in 2021. It is good to see it reflected in the national conversation on primary care reform.

Supporting people through serious illness, cancer and persistent pain calls for knowledge, collaboration and compassionate care.

We're hosting a free educational webinar with Kate Reed, Nurse Practitioner at Next Practice Deakin, exploring practical ways to support people living with serious illness and complex care needs.

This session is open to aged care teams, community health providers, GPs and anyone who supports older people or people with serious illness.

Kate will cover:
- Recognising when palliative or supportive care may help
- Supporting symptom control, comfort and quality of life
- Working alongside families, carers, GPs and care teams
- How a Nurse Practitioner can support people in community and residential aged care settings

Date: Wednesday 10 June
