We're excited to announce that My Emergency Doctor has been commissioned by South Western Sydney PHN to provide medical care after hours via phone or video to people living in their catchment area. Consultations are free for patients and supported by funding from South Western Sydney PHN through the Australian Government’s PHN program: ow.ly/rpNV50BnLMz

Today we're celebrating nurses everywhere! It's 'International Day of the Nurse', a significant occasion this year given the current global COVID-19 pandemic and also as 2020 has been marked by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the 'Year of the Nurse and Midwife'.

Nurses account for more than half of all the world’s health workers and play a vital role in health for all as their work contributes to health promotion, disease prevention, treatment and care. In some communities, nurses are often the first and sometimes the only health professional that people see.

To nurses all around Australia, we thank you for everything you do and the contribution you make to help keep communities safe and healthy!

It's important to remember why we should be staying home this Easter and forgoing the usual plans we would normally make to travel over a long weekend.

COVID-19 still poses a significant risk to many vulnerable people and the chances of community transmission are still high. Additionally, our healthcare workers still need our support to flatten the curve.

Stay hyper-local this long weekend and relax at home.
