As I read it the ADHA is saying we need help developing a few PowerPoint slides to communicate our new Digital Health Strategy and that we expect the work to take at least 4 months.

Jinx, you could learn all you need for this from the manual in under a month I reckon!

You have to wonder whether anyone there actually has any skills if consulting help is needed with a few slides!

Wandering off into the evening just amazed, hoping the actual strategy is as good as the flash graphics!

I agree David, it is rather bewildering if what they are saying here is that they have written a new strategy but they don't know how to communicate it! It does seem rather odd. Which strategy are they referring to?

In the context of My Health Record, what reference is made in the strategy to pandemics, floods, cyclones, and bushfires.
