Overview
The Health Promotion Practitioners Network (previously the North and West Health Promotion Community of Practice) is an initiative by the four Primary Care Partnerships in the North West Metropolitan Region (Inner North West PCP, HealthWest Partnership, Hume Whittlesea PCP and North East PCP) to support professional development among health promotion professionals early in their career.
Our last event

May 2018, saw another of our speed Networking events.
Fellow health promotion practitioners came together to meet each other and find out more about health and wellbeing projects in the West & North of Melbourne.
Professional Development Event: Self-Promotion
Learn how to present yourself as a health promotion professional. This event will focus on how to use LinkedIn to network and promote yourself.
In November we had a unique community of practice on “How to Promote Yourself?” as a health promotion practitioner. Specifically, how to network and market yourself on LinkedIn. We had two marketing specialists guest speakers who spoke about do’s and don’ts and a professional photographer who took headshots of each of our attendants.
