Primary health care is any medical service that is provided outside the four walls of a hospital, including aged care, community health, general practice, custodial, schools and many other primary health care settings. Australia's 98,000+ primary health care nurses play a critical role in disease prevention and control to keep people healthy. They provide proactive care and health promotion to keep Australians well.
In this episode of Nursing Australia, hosted by Suzanne Blackeby, we hear:

The speed at which the COVID-19 vaccine rollout is being implemented means it’s natural for nurses to be left with a few unanswered questions. But fear not, APNA’s got you covered. We have been in active discussions with the Department of Health for many months now and are bringing you the information we learn via The Connect, in our COVID webinar series and on Nursing Australia.
Our most recent APNA COVID Webinar covered all you need to know about recording COVID-19 vaccinations in the AIR and reporting side-effects. We discussed the information you need to provide, what this looks like in your practice software, as well as some of the broader considerations for COVID-19 vaccination reporting.
We were joined by Katrina Otto and Marg Windsor.

387,000 Australians experience stroke in their lifetimes, that’s a stroke every 9 minutes in our country. The first point of contact for many people experiencing signs of stroke will be in primary care. The Stroke Foundation explains what primary care nurses can do to turn these numbers around and what nurses should do when faced with a patient presenting with signs of stroke.
