COORDINARE’s MPA Community of Practice (CoP)

There are approximately 40 Medical Practice Assistants (MPAs) across the South Eastern NSW catchment, trained to work within a defined scope of practice to support doctors and nurses by doing administrative, and in some cases clinical, tasks in a general practice.

COORDINARE established a Community of Practice which supports MPAs to develop skills through networking and meets quarterly, with about 25 MPAs and some practice managers joining the virtual meetings.

Through the MPA Community of Practice we encourage each other, lean on each other, and discuss and share ideas of examples of best practice so we can work productively in our workplaces. I’m grateful to COORDINARE’s staff who have trained me and supported me in the facilitator role.
