Navigating COVID-19 and Beyond

During the challenging and unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Medicines Australia sought feedback from Healthcare Organisations (HCO) and Patient Advocacy Groups (PAG) about what was important to them in terms of managing their organisations capability and capacity to continue to provide their essential services to patients and consumers. Key areas were identified as highest priorities (e.g. fundraising, financial management) and Medicines Australia has partnered with key leaders in fundraising and financial management to bring you ‘Navigating COVID & Beyond’ program, a series of tailored, interactive webcasts and workshops to help HCOs and PAGs to navigate this challenging time, steering their organisations through COVID-19 and on to the ‘new normal’ of recovery.

If you would like to know more about this program,  please contact Petrina Keogh.

This program is fully funded by Medicines Australia and its members as part of the Navigating COVID-19 and Beyond’ support program for HCOs and PAGs.
