Details
60min clinical workshop | Multiple tertiary paediatric services across Australia face multi-year wait times at present; developmental/behavioural services, allergy medicine and mental health most prominently. Families and clinicians are suffering.
Our general practice clinic focuses on developing and deploying innovative models of care to deliver key benefits now. We believe in full scope general practice centred care is the greatest positive difference kids and families can receive. Our clinic model encompasses advanced support of learning/behavioural concerns, parenting support programs, collaboration with education services, skin prick testing/oral food challenges and spirometry for young children all under one roof.
Join this session, and takeaway;
- How to enhance core general practice skills to address child learning, behavioural and mental health presentations.
- How safe and appropriate skin prick testing and low risk oral food challenges can be incorporated into primary care.
- An awareness of additional training and resources available to general practitioners interested in community child and family medicine.
