Are your GP contact details up to date?

Eastern Health receives GP details via the National Health Services Directory (NHSD). Practice managers are reminded to contact the NHSD via nhsd@healthdirect.org.au to make any changes. If the GP name and practice are not on the NHSD, GPs will not receive electronic summaries. Please contact Penny Gaskell if you would like any additional information.
