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.

SUMMARY:Balint information evening
DESCRIPTION:Invitation to South West Balint information evening \n‘A cuppa\, collegiality and companionship’ \nAre you feeling professionally isolated? Would you like some support from colleagues in the same boat? Come and join a like-minded group of South-West GPs to learn what’s involved in a Balint Group\, no strings attached. \nBalint groups are named after the Hungarian Psychiatrist\, Michael Balint\, who worked with GPs in London in the 1950s. They are a forum for GPs to meet regularly and\, through a facilitated discussion\, explore the complexities of the doctor-patient relationship as well as other challenges that arise during our work. \nYou are warmly invited to an online discussion about Balint groups on Wednesday 16 November at 7.30 pm. This will provide an opportunity to learn about what’s involved in participating in a Balint group. We will hear from Judy Griffiths\, a qualified Leader Trainer with the Balint Society of Australia and NZ\, as well as GPs who have previously participated in Balint groups. \nFollowing the meeting\, we will be seeking expressions of interest from South West GPs to establish an online Balint Group. \nWe look forward to your company on the 16 November. \nWhen:    Wednesday 16 November\, 7.30-8.30 pm\nWhere:   Online via zoom (link will be provided closer to the date) \nPlease register now or email wa.events@racgp.org.au for more information or for non-RACGP member registrations.

SUMMARY:General Practice Cancer Education Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Breast density – what does it mean for GPs and their patients? \nOverview\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. At 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 Fellow\, University of Western Australia \nRegistration \nRegister through Eventbrite \n
