Uni helps take pulse of regional health system 

CQUniversity has been helping to take the pulse of the regional health system by hosting three 'liveWELL CQ' feedback sessions on behalf of the Central Queensland Primary Care Partnership (CQPCP).

The Q&A sessions have been designed to stimulate ideas, encourage dialogue and cultivate actions.

Around 35 people from various community groups and the University attended the second session on 'Partnering in Action' this week. Participants also video linked from Gladstone, Biloela and Emerald.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Higher Education) Professor Graham Pegg updated the audience on the CQUniversity Health Clinic on Rockhampton Campus, as a working example of a partnership with Central Queensland Hospital and Health Services, a State Government initiative.
