The Practice Support Program has a holistic approach to general practice. This includes general practitioners, practice nurses and practice staff. The program has a three pronged approach to enhance the capacity of general practice.

This includes:

• optimal chronic disease management through the use of the Commonwealth initiatives such as Enhanced Primary Care strategies;
• clinical up-dates and best practice guidelines; and
• improved business management and practice accreditation.

These strategies will enhance preventive measures, earlier diagnosis, management of targeted diseases and routine care. Practices will be able to identify patients in their care with targeted diseases, if they have been provided with minimum routine clinical care and provide or make provision for that care.
