2023 PHO Forum Funding
Practice engagement in PHO planning and implementation activity is key to the success of the PHO and PHO programmes. We are keen to continue creating opportunities for Practices to provide input into, and have influence over, PHO direction (clinical and non-clinical) on an on-going basis.
The Board recognises the value of Practice engagement and has approved the six funded PHO Forums to continue in the 2023 calendar year. Forum dates for this year are Wednesday March 15, May 3, June 21, August 9, September 20, and November 8 The forum runs from 7 to 8.30 PM, with drinks and snacks from 6.30 PM.
The forums have a mixed format, that is you can attend in person or online via Zoom. The funding below applies for both online or in person attendance.
