SUMMARY:Webinar: Diagnosis and Treatment of PTSD in Emergency Service Workers
DESCRIPTION:GPs often play a central role in the provision of healthcare to communities in the immediate\, acute phase of emergency situations\, and on an ongoing basis for the long-term recovery of individuals and their broader community. \nEmergency Service Workers are one of the high-risk groups for trauma exposure and are more vulnerable to developing mental health problems. These mental health conditions have significant impact on their employment\, family/relationships\, and wellbeing. \nThis workshop has been designed with a focus on GPs\, to diagnose patients with acute stress disorder\, post-traumatic stress disorder and other comorbidities. Evidence based guidelines will be used as the foundation to appropriately diagnose and identify treatment pathways including recommended referrals\, trauma focused psychological therapy and psychological first aid to help support their management of emergency service workers. The training may also be relevant to other health professionals. \nThis training aims to increase participants’ skills and confidence to: \n1.   Understand the relationship between traumatic events and the development of mental health conditions \n2.   Identify evidence-based treatment and referral pathways for a patient impacted by trauma \n3.   Recommend evidence-based resources\, including e-Mental Health\, for family/kinship groups impacted by trauma \nTESTIMONIALS \n\n“The experience of trauma in our community has been very widespread and deeply felt over the past 12 or so months\, with the 2019-2020 summer bushfires and then the COVID pandemic. This program is excellent for both reviewing skills and knowledge and also up-skilling the varied health professionals who are often the frontline contacts for support from emergency and other workers and their families experiencing symptoms of PTSD. It has been\, for me\, one of the most valuable 3 hours of clinical training I have participated in.” Participant 2nd March 2021\n“This was great course\, especially for a rural based GP. I would strongly recommend all my colleagues to enrol in it.” Participant 11th March 2021\n“This was an excellent course\, very well delivered and relevant to general practice. It is especially relevant in the present times of floods\, fires and COVID!” Participant 25th March 2021\n\nFUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM \nThe Grant Program for Emergency Services Workers trauma Care\, including PTSD support services\, is funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs. \nhttps://minister.homeaffairs.gov.au/davidlittleproud/Pages/mental-health-grants-support-emergency-services-workers.aspx \nSELF-CARE NOTE \nThis workshop discusses PTSD and trauma. We understand this can be a difficult topic to discuss\, especially for people who have lived experience of PTSD. We ask you to take care of your mental health and wellbeing when deciding to attend this workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccreditation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6 CPD Activity points (RACGP)\nMH CPD activity (GPMHSC)\n3 Performance Review PDP units (ACRRM)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuitable for\n\n\nGP Registrars\, GPs\n\n\nTopics Covered\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.      Understanding the context of Emergency Service Workers \n2.      Diagnosing PTSD \n3.      Your role \n4.      Self-care for practitioners \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.      Recognise responses to trauma in emergency service workers\, their families and kinship groups \n2.      Identify validated screening and assessment tools for common mental health conditions related to trauma \n3.      Apply evidence-based treatment/management plan for a patient impacted by trauma \n4.      Identify a range of appropriate referral pathways and collaborative care options \n5.      Identify and use self-care strategies and resources to manage their own mental health and wellbeing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Decolonising Mental Health Systems
DESCRIPTION:Topic\nDecolonising Mental Health Systems: Global experiences of social and emotional wellbeing \nDescription\nIndigenous peoples are custodians of knowledge systems vetted and refined by thousands of centuries of practice-based evidence. Prior to colonisation\, these knowledge systems ensured the survival\, health\, and harmony of Indigenous peoples\, communities\, and ecosystems. Post-colonisation\, the health and mental health gaps between non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples has widened at alarming rates. \nIn this webinar\, six global Indigenous leaders in mental health and wellbeing from four colonised countries (Australia\, New Zealand\, Canada\, and the United States of America) will share their experiences of walking in two worlds and of navigating mental health systems to ensure the wellbeing\, healing\, and self-determination of Indigenous peoples. A holistic worldview is offered that moves away from the deficit- and individually-focused narrative of mental illness and considers the social\, cultural\, political\, and historical context of health and the structural drivers of health inequality. \n\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:General Practice Cancer Education. Breast density - what does it mean for GPs and their patients?
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMammographic breast density can be a challenge for general practitioners (GPs) and their patients. High mammographic breast density lowers the sensitivity of breast cancer screening; thereby increasing the risk of an interval cancer between screening episodes\, and moderately increases breast cancer risk. Breast Screen WA is the only Australian state screening program to notify women and their GP when a mammogram shows marked increased breast density (and have been doing so for over 10 years). Women are advised in writing to consult their GP to discuss the significance of their breast density\, to have a clinical examination and receive further advice about their breast cancer risk.\nAt this webinar\, Associate Professor Jennifer Stone will discuss the significance of breast density\, its occurrence\, how to discuss the implications of increased breast density with patients\, and the way forward. \nLearning outcomes\n1. Discuss the implications of increased breast density with patients\n2. Describe how breast density influences breast cancer risk and mammographic sensitivity\n3. State the supplemental screening recommendations indicated for patients with increased breast density\n4. Recall the ongoing breast density research in Australia \nPresenter\nAssociate Professor Jennifer Stone\, Epidemiologist & Senior Research\nFellow\, University of Western Australia \nRegistration \nThis activity has been\naccredited under ACRRM PDP\,\nand the RACGP CPD Program –\nActivity ID: 370447p

SUMMARY:Injury Matters online workshop – Supporting People after a Road Crash
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has had an impact on the mental health and well-being of older adults in Western Australia. Social isolation is a continuing problem for older adults and may lead to loneliness. Social isolation is the absence of relationships with family and friends on an individual level and with society on a broader level. Good mental health contributes greatly to an overall feeling of well-being.
