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 held at the Central Queensland Innovation and Research Precinct (CQIRP) across from CQUniversity Rockhampton Campus have been designed to stimulate ideas, encourage dialogue and cultivate actions.

Stakeholders have included the University, CQPCP, Medicare Local, Centacare and the Queensland Government.

The final of the three sessions covered Fly In Fly Out - the impact on the health of our communities.
