The Central West Gippsland Primary Care Partnership has a strong history of supporting food security work across Baw Baw and Latrobe. In order to effectively and efficiently respond to new challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic we put a call out to our partners to identify the current service gaps, community issues, pressure points and needs they were experiencing.
The role of Primary Care Partnerships in promoting and sharing service disruption and access changes during COVID-19 - A snapshot of the inter-organisation communication strategies applied in response to COVID-19 by Campaspe Primary Care Partnership
Understanding the complexity of community impacts and adaptations to build community resilience in the face of COVID 19 as at June, 2020. The first two weeks of the onset of the pandemic saw a rapidly changing environment with SGGPCP partners required to implement unprecedented actions and navigate a web of complex information, generally resulting in a focus on internal organisational response. The SGGPCP Collaboration for Community Resilience network began to meet in early April 2020 with the aim to develop a shared understanding of the impacts of COVID 19, the actions being implemented and begin to identify the gaps.
Macedon Ranges Shire has an older population compared to Victoria. The physical distancing required to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has seen an increase in the reliance on digital platforms that enable people to socially connect, keep updated on government directives, as well as attend medical appointments, online shopping and interact with online hobbies and support groups. Through the local pandemic emergency response it was identified that there were a number of local programs to support older people to become digitally connected. It was agreed that this program needed to be adaptable in this new physical distancing environment.
To slow the spread of COVID-19, the Macedon Ranges community demonstrated their resilience and adapted to the new social environment of physical distancing. The Macedon Ranges Health and Wellbeing Partnership used social media to promote examples of adaptability, with the hope of inspiring other groups to maintain their social connections. Short 3-minute videos were produced to showcase these examples of adaptability and resilience. These were shared via Facebook by the Macedon Ranges Health and Wellbeing Partnership to increase the reach of the message #AdaptableAndResilient.
