Western Victoria Primary Health Network (WVPHN), in partnership with Active Geelong, invites Practice Nurses to the third webinar in our series on promoting physical activity in primary care.
This session will introduce the new Heart Foundation Walking digital referral tool and explore how practice nurses can use it to support conversations about physical activity and behaviour change. Learn how to integrate the tool into existing workflows, link patients with community walking supports, and strengthen a team‑based approach to promoting movement in everyday practice
