Upcoming Sessions Session 7:  The GPs approach to Youth Substance Abuse

1-1 Interview with Dr James Edis,Medical Officer, Mental Health Commission

Upcoming next week, panellist Dr Simon Slota-Kan, General Practitioner at Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service, will interview Dr James Edis, Medical Officer from the Mental Health Commission about the GPs role in Youth Substance Abuse.

As 24% of young Australians, between 14 and 24, engage in illicit drug use, Dr Edis and Dr Slota-Kan, along with Subject Matter Experts, Dr Wendy Lawrance, Dr Richard O’Regan and Dr Rupert Backhouse, will discuss the best evidence-based approach to managing youth with substance abuse challenges in general practice.

Unlike other learning platforms, the AOD Network is an opportunity to collaborate with experts in the field about managing real de-identified AOD cases.

Participants and Panellists alike are encouraged to learn and build confidence and capability together, to support people in the community experiencing AOD issues enabling the all teach-all learn.

GPs who have attended 5 or more sessions, will be eligible for 40 CPD points with RACGP and ACRRM.
