Why FutureCare?
Health Consumers Queensland supports ordinary people like you to work in partnership with health services. The aim of these partnerships is to improve the way healthcare is delivered, making the experience better and safer for everyone. Staying abreast of the latest technology and tools in healthcare is essential to making informed choices in our own healthcare, and being able to influence healthcare in consumer partnerships. The FutureCare series is just one of the ways we help health consumers make sense of rapid changes in healthcare delivery.
