Canberra Health Services’ GP Liaison Unit (GPLU) enhances communication and partnerships between the hospital and general practitioners to facilitate a seamless health service delivery and safe clinical handover of patients back to their primary health care provider.
The unit acts as a point of contact between the hospital for GPs, practice staff and other primary health providers for anything related to their patients, hospital services, referral processes and general advice.
The GP Liaison Unit is available to:
- provide clinical support over the phone for GPs

- organise and facilitate the quarterly GP Liaison Network Meeting
- organise and facilitate GP education events
- inform the GP community about CHS services via the GP Liaison newsletter.
