Healthy Hawkesbury is a series of dynamic conversations hosted by local General Practitioners (GPs) and allied health professionals and featuring guests that include Hawkesbury's leading surgeons, physicians and community advocates. We look at the unique health issues of the Hawkesbury community, with a particular focus on health challenges identified by the region's Primary Health Network. Despite its regional setting about 50 kilometres north-west of the Sydney metropolitan area in NSW Australia, Hawkesbury District Health Services has a rich network of highly qualified health professionals offering outstanding services to the local community. From insights into ailments prevalent in the Hawkesbury to the latest innovations, treatments and services – the Healthy Hawkesbury podcast helps GPs to connect the dots and patients to access excellent care close to home. Prepared with GPs and the local community in mind, we hope the series is of value to anyone with an health interest in the latest health and medical news.
