Welcome to 2023 networking event 

Over 120 Health Professionals from Denmark, Katanning and Albany attended the “Welcome to 2023” networking event at the Boston Brewery in Denmark on the weekend. Some were lucky enough to catch the bus in and make a full day of  the Denmark sunshine.

They members of the GSHPN were engaged with three different speakers, Grace Templeman (WA Country Health Service Katanning), Jane Carter (General Manager, Roshana Aged Care)  and Louise O’Neill (2022 AgriFutures WA Rural Women’s Award winner) for her work in ‘Farmlife’ and getting the word out on supporting our local people with mental health education.

Last year’s event yielded 80 health professionals so it was great to see some new faces and have support from both community and hospital based GSHPN members.
