Build your capacity to provide quality mental health care to your patients

7 – 8:30 PM AEST
 
With 10.6% of the Australian population receiving Medicare subsidised mental health-specific services in 2018-19,  it is imperative that nurses working in primary health care can provide assessment and practical interventions in alignment with their individual scope of practice.
 
This webinar aims to:

• Improve understanding and identification of psychological distress in your patients, especially during the current pandemic

•  Improve understanding of the use of GP software templates / tools to support your work

• Improve understanding of your scope of practice in relation to mental health, including clarity of medicolegal considerations  

•  Improve confidence in assessing risk and crisis management for the distressed patient

• Improve understanding of impact of comorbidities,  referral pathways, and care planning considerations

• Consolidate your knowledge of effective documentation

• Identify evidence based resources that you can use as an adjunct to care with your patients
