Invitation to the CCQ Clinical Society gathering taking place at the Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort in November:
Effective Management of Chronic Diseases through Primary Healthcare
Chronic conditions can greatly impact an individual's overall health and impose a considerable financial strain on primary and hospital healthcare systems.
In 2023, chronic diseases accounted for an estimated loss of 4.4 million healthy life years in Australia, making up 85% of the nation’s disease burden.
Early identification, timely diagnosis, and effective referral by primary health professionals play a crucial role in delaying disease progression, enhancing quality of life, and mitigating future demands on the healthcare system.
The gathering aims to foster a collaborative approach to improve health outcomes for individuals living with chronic conditions in the region.
