This education workshop is proudly delivered by Rural Health West in partnership with WA Country Health Service.
The RHW MHST is a purpose designed, interactive training workshop for General (GPs) to enhance their skills, knowledge and approach to people presenting with high prevalence mental health and alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems to primary care. The workshop has been designed with input from consumers and carers to embed and incorporate their perspectives, experiences and needs when presenting to GPs in primary care.
You will have the opportunity to learn important practical skills including;
- Identify and manage consumers who present with mental health issues experienced within the context of general practice
- Develop and review evidence-based General Practice Mental Health Treatment Plans (GPMHTPs) in consultation with consumers and carers within the context of general practice
- Incorporate perspectives and needs of consumers, their carers and others in a person’s network of support in a GPMHTP to inform subsequent care received within the context of general practice
- Use practice systems to identify local services and resources that safeguard consumer safety and assist in providing holistic mental health care to consumers with the context of general practice
- Use appropriate MBS item numbers relating to the provision of mental health care within the context of general practice
