The Eye and Ear works closely with GP's to ensure that patients are appropriately assessed and receive timely access to care as determined by their condition. We have a GP Liaison Officer to assist with GP queries and training requirements.

Dr Lina Nido has been our GP Liaison Officer since January 2008. She is a practising GP in the inner west suburbs of Melbourne. Dr Lina Nido is also an examiner for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and has been a tutor for the Department of Medicine at the University of Melbourne.

Dr Nido’s role as the GP Liaison Officer is to provide an advisory role within the hospital to facilitate system change that improves, builds and enhances pathways, linkages, capacity, communication and access to services between general practice, community health care and the hospital.  She is also responsible for the development and facilitation of continuing professional development events for GPs. Her usual working day is Thursday.
