IMS is delighted to have been chosen by James Cook University (JCU) to build the Far North Private Hospital on the Dugurrdja Medical Precinct. We thank JCU and Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service (CHHHS) for the opportunity and look forward to working with them as foundation partners of the Dugurrdja site.

As the first healthcare precinct in Northern Australia, this a landmark collaboration. We see a unique opportunity to provide contemporary models of care that cost-effective, flexible, and meet the ongoing challenges in both the public and private healthcare sectors.

We look forward to progressing this partnership and developing a facility on a precinct that we know will become the epicentre of health innovation in Northern Australia.

At IMS – Far North Day Hospital we understand the power of partnership and last weekend hosted a GP Conference that attracted over 80 General Practitioners from across the region including Cooktown, Weipa, Innisfail, Tully, Townsville, the Atherton Tablelands, Cairns and over 20 medical specialists.

We had great representation from community health organisations including the Queensland Health HealthPathways team, COUCH Wellness Centre and an informative session from Shaquille Chong on Culturally Competent Practice for Aboriginal people.

Business for Doctors provided valuable insight into Medicare changes, and GPs got some great insight into the management of a broad range of specialties from gynaecology to haematology.

Importantly, the weekend deepened collaborative ties between local health services across the region, medical specialists and GPs.

A key takeaway was that great things happen when we work together and reinforced for us all the importance of partnerships and collaboration.

A very big thank you to all our participants, presenters, sponsors and community partners for your engagement and enthusiasm. Together we are advancing healthcare across Far North Queensland!

NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to engage more deeply with First Nations histories, cultures and excellence.

This year's theme is 'Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud!

It's a theme that calls on Australians from all walks of life to honour and recognise the strength, vitality and endurance of First Nations culture. One easy and meaningful way to participate is to learn more about First Nations cultures and histories through local events and some of the great content available across media outlets.
