SONDER ANNUAL REPORT 2021-22 32
In order to better understand the professional
development needs of the primary health care
workforce, we invited professionals to take part in
a survey at the start of the financial year to identify
common knowledge gaps, we then arranged CPD
events that covered these topics.
CPD services at Sonder experienced substantial
change throughout the past financial year. Sonder
was funded by Adelaide PHN to deliver CPD
services up until the end of 2021, however, was
unsuccessful in retaining this funding contract.
Since then, the CPD team worked with a range of
sponsors, including Return to Work SA and various
pharmaceutical companies to continue to deliver
professional development activities to the primary
health care workforce.
In the 21-22 financial year, Sonder delivered a total
of twenty-nine events for 416 attendees, including
130 General Practitioners, 132 Registered Nurses,
and seventy-one Practice Managers.
These events were delivered across metropolitan
Adelaide with the majority held in the Northern
suburbs and inner metro area.
Sonder also supported the delivery of two
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural
Awareness Training sessions, delivered in
partnership with Bookabee Australia and
supported by Sonder’s Closing the Gap Integrated
Team Care team.
Our Practice Managers Network Meetings provide
an opportunity for Practice Managers in Adelaide’s
Northern, Central and Southern metropolitan
regions to build the capacity and efficiency of their
general practice.
In the 21-22 financial year, Sonder delivered a total
of seven Practice Manager Networks meetings,
with education on topics including digital health
and practice incentive payments.
