GP Liaison Service

Armadale and Kalamunda hospitals value the role of general practitioners in the provision of care for our community.

Our GP Liaison service is focused on patient care between AHS and care in the community in collaboration with the WA Primary Health Alliance (external site).

As such, the service exists to:

• promote clear and relevant communication and information between the hospital, general practitioners and the General Practice Networks, particularly in the areas of patient referral and discharge
• provide a general practice perspective on patient care at Armadale and Kalamunda hospitals
• liaise with WA Primary Health Alliance and the GP community on issues regarding the hospital/GP interface
• work towards increasing engagement of GPs to improve continuity of care.
