A Centre of Excellence in Clinical Education
Shaping the Future of Healthcare in the Northern Rivers

At Northern Rivers Health Hub, we are proud to serve not only as a multidisciplinary healthcare precinct, but also as a Centre of Excellence in clinical education and training. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond patient care — we are dedicated to fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals through hands-on teaching, mentorship, and collaboration.

A Learning Environment Built for the Real World

With general practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, specialists, allied health and wellness professionals all working under one roof, our hub offers an ideal environment for immersive, team-based learning. Students and trainees are exposed to real-world scenarios, interprofessional dynamics, and continuity of care — preparing them for the complexity and rewards of modern healthcare delivery.

Supporting the Next Generation

We proudly host and support:

• Medical students from Australian universities undertaking rural and regional placements

• GP registrars in various stages of their training, supported by experienced supervisors

• Student nurses gaining valuable frontline clinical experience

• Intern and early-career community pharmacists through structured preceptorship programs

Why We Teach

We believe that education is central to quality care. By supporting a culture of teaching and mentorship, we create a vibrant and future-focused practice environment. Clinicians benefit from the energy and curiosity of trainees, while patients gain from longer consultations, fresh perspectives, and continuity of care.

Integrated, Supervised, Collaborative

Education at Northern Rivers Health Hub is structured, supported and meaningful:

• Supervision and mentorship from accredited clinical educators and experienced practitioners

• Opportunities for case-based learning, interdisciplinary discussions and team-based decision-making

• Clinical infrastructure that supports learning without compromising workflow — including shared spaces, private consult rooms, and teaching-friendly layouts

Whether you’re a practitioner who loves to teach, a health service looking to place students, or a trainee seeking a dynamic learning environment — Northern Rivers Health Hub welcomes you. Our vision is to be a model for rural and regional clinical education, one patient and one student at a time.
