Through the insights and experience of the HCNSW team, we were able to not only recruit avaluable consumer representative to our sub-committee, but also ensure that our visionary view ofhealthcare in Western Sydney is truly patient centred.
HCNSW were able to facilitate finding an engaged, informed group of individuals who have a diverse range of skills and experiences and a deep knowledge of consumer advocacy. We are very excited to be working with consumers to help shape the medical training of our future medical workforce.
