Michelle Pontifex - Adelaide PHN
Michelle joined the HealthPathways SA team in November 2022
She holds a Diploma in Nursing (Registered Nurse) and an Advanced Diploma in Business (Tourism Management) and has moved between both industries over the course of her career.
Working as a Nurse Manager in a variety of General Practices, Michelle saw that people often need their local GP surgery to be the gateway to the multitude of organisations and services that make up South Australia’s Health and Welfare Sectors.
Therefore, navigating patients to the most appropriate and timely treatment or support comprised one of the main functions of general practice and primary health care.
Prior to joining the team, Michelle was already a registered user of Health Pathways, regularly consulting the site for clinical knowledge and information to inform and support her own nursing care and patient education.
She is excited by the opportunity to work on the ‘other side of the fence’ now and contribute to the creation of new clinical pathways and promote how health professionals can best utilize HealthPathways to guide and support their clinical care too.
