Dr Christine Connors

Program Director, Preventable Chronic Disease Strategy,
Department of Health and Community Services, Darwin.

Dr Connors has recently been involved in developing the NT Preventable Chronic Disease Strategy and has been leading its implementation in the Top End. This has mainly involved shifting the focus of remote clinic staff from acute reactive care to planned pro active care, to reduce the morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases. Her team is currently exploring options with community organisations and families to increase community “infrastructure” that will support healthy lifestyle changes that prevent and manage chronic disease.
