Nominations for inspiring doctors, medical practices, health and primary care providers across the Hunter New England Health District for the 2022 Primary Care Quality and Innovation Awards.
The Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network (the PHN) is calling on all primary care providers, businesses and individuals from across the region to nominate themselves or someone they know for one or more of the six award categories.
