    Practice nurse project
    The practice nurse project aims to:
    1. Improve the professional capacity of practice nurses.
    2. Assist general practices to take advantage of the opportunities practice nursing brings to the care of patients.
    3. Assist general practice with the recruitment, orientation and retention of practice nurses.

    Practice support (incl IMIT)
    The practice liaison project provides a link between the division and general practice, disseminating information and providing in-house training and telephone support to GPs and practice staff. Supported areas include chronic disease management, medical software and information management (with IMIT project staff), incentive payments and accreditation.

    To view a range of 2005 EPC templates designed by a local GP, go to the Resources chapter and look up the Chronic Disease Management Templates category.
