Engagement
Developing a framework for community and clinical engagement over such an enormous geographic area with many sectional interest groups is a challenging task. With the diversity of population, it is not feasible to be truly representative of every group. Recognising this, the framework aims to make it possible for every group to have input at a variety of levels in different ways.
The model has been developed taking into account:
- the geographic and population diversity of the new area
- the overall structure of Hunter New England Health
- the availability of appropriate resources
- formal feedback structures
- development of community trust
- belief in transparency of decision making
- the relationship of the local community with the Area Health Advisory Council
Hunter New England Health will engage with stakeholders by establishing and working with the following groups:
- Local Health Advisory Committees (locality based)
- Community Forums on Health (geographic cluster based)
- GP Advisory Committee
- Aboriginal Health Liaison Committee
- Medical Staff Executive Council
- Area Health Advisory Council (appointed by the Minister)
