Yesterday, the EMPHN General Practice team welcomed 120 attendees from across the catchment to our annual Practice Manager Education and Networking Day.

With Wellbeing as the key theme, highlights from the day included sessions on leading under pressure, self-care and wellbeing at work, and staff recruitment and retention - topics that continue to be front of mind across general practice.

Attendees also had the opportunity to hear from representatives from RACGP, AAPM, and EMPHN teams including Link‑me+, Digital Health, Medicare Mental Health, and HealthPathways, learning more about available programs and support networks.

Thank you to all attendees and guest speakers who joined us and contributed to an engaging day focused on supporting practice managers.

Co‑designed with GPs and underpinned by more than 20 years of research, Link‑me+ is a mental health model of care developed specifically for general practice.

The model supports earlier identification of mental health needs and helps connect patients with appropriate, tailored care through clearer pathways and improved coordination.

Integrating with existing workflows, without adding pressure to already stretched practices — Link‑me+ helps improve outcomes for both patients and clinicians.

General practices across the catchment are invited to register their interest and explore how Link‑me+ works in practice: https://bit.ly/4tmSwYS

Link‑me+ helps GPs support adults experiencing common mental health concerns such as low mood, worry and stress by tailoring care to individual needs.

Through a short, patient‑completed prognostic tool, GPs gain earlier insight into what patients are experiencing and what matters most to them, supporting purposeful mental health conversations and care planning.

When needed, Care Navigators provide additional support by helping patients navigate services and stay connected to care — working alongside general practice teams.

We’re excited to expand access to Link-me+ across more eligible general practices within the catchment.
