About Upper Hume Primary Care Partnership (UHPCP)
Our Vision
Our communities working collaboratively to enhance the health, wellbeing and quality of life of their members.
Our Mission
To enhance wellbeing and quality of life, reduce the prevalence, incidence and burden of illness/disability, meet the needs of hard to reach and vulnerable groups, and reduce health inequalities between population groups.
Our Key Objectives
Our key objectives are focused around four areas of work:
- Partnership
- Integrated Health Promotion
- Service Coordination - including e-referral
- Integrated Chronic Disease Management
The PCP has recently also commenced work on integrated aged care activities.
How we Operate
The Upper Hume PCP is comprised of member organisations voluntarily entering into partnership by signing the UHPCP Partnering Agreement. The Agreement provides the structure and direction that enables the partnership members to work effectively. Governance of the UHPCP occurs through the General Committee, comprising representatives from all member agencies, and the Executive, which is the principal governing and decision making body made up of elected representatives.
Partnership members also participate on Steering Committees for each of the deliverable areas (Service Coordination, Integrated Health Promotion and Integrated Chronic Disease Management), and occasionally on project Working Groups.
The Upper Hume Primary Care Partnership supports a structure of engagement and participation of its members. To this end, employment support for the PCP is provided by its members. The PCP is currently resourced by
- Executive Officer - located at Gateway Community Health
- Service Coordination Officer - located at Albury Wodong Regional GP Network
- Integrated Health Promotion - located at Gateway Community Health
- Integrated Chronic Disease Management - located with Albury Wodonga Health - Wodonga Campus.
The integrated aged care role is shared between Central Hume PCP and Upper Hume PCP and works across the two catchments.
