General Practice Support

Our Practice Support team offers resources and support to local practices, including a range of services specifically for GPs.

Connecting GPs with local health professionals

We are always looking for ways to help local healthcare professionals connect with each other. 

We invite GPs in the Nepean Blue Mountains region to join the Nepean Blue Mountains Healthcare Professionals online community we have established. 

This is a closed facebook group for healthcare professionals in the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Lithgow and Penrith areas.
