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.

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“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″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“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 \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:Breast density - what does it mean for GPs and their patients?
DESCRIPTION:Overview\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. \nAt 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\nDiscuss the implications of increased breast density with patients\nDescribe how breast density influences breast cancer risk and\nmammographic sensitivity\nState the supplemental screening recommendations indicated for\npatients with increased breast density\nRecall the ongoing breast density research in Australia \nPresenter\nAssociate Professor Jennifer Stone\, Epidemiologist & Senior ResearchFellow\, University of Western Australia \nRegister HERE. \nDate: Tuesday\, 25 October 2022\nTime: 7.00pm – 8.00pm\nTarget Audience: GPs\, Practice Nurses\nMode of delivery: Zoom. On the morning of the webinar an email will be sent to registered attendees which will contain a link to join the webinar.

SUMMARY:Getting to the bottom of colonoscopy use in bowel screening
DESCRIPTION:This is a free webinar and CPD opportunity for all general practice health professionals. \nEncouragement and support by GPs and practice nurses\, can have significant impact on improving participation in bowel cancer screening; evidence shows that a recommendation by a trusted health professional is a key motivator to participate.

Part three\, Gastroenterologist Dr Hooi Ee will discuss the appropriate use of colonoscopies including when to start and stop surveillance for patients; how to communicate the benefits and risk to patients\, and when to refer a patient back to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program after a colonoscopy. \nOn the morning of Tuesday 6 September an email will be sent to registered attendees which will contain a link to join the webinar. You will be able to join the webinar by clicking the link. Please note time the webinar will start at 6.00pm AWST\, 7.30pm ACST\, and 8.00pm AEST. \n5 minutes – Welcome and introductions \n40 minutes – Presentations \n\nDr Hooi Ee – Gastroenterologist & Head of Department\, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital\n\n15 minutes – Questions & discussion \n  \nLearning outcomes \n\nRecall how to communicate with patients the harm-to-benefit ratio of using colonoscopy for screening in average-risk populations\nDescribe the appropriate use of surveillance colonoscopies including when they should be initiated and ceased.\nIdentify when a patient who has had a colonoscopy can be referred back to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program\n\n\nThis activity is pending accreditation under ACRRM PDP\, and the RACGP CPD Program – Activity ID: 362240 \nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Mindful Self Webinar - A virtual journey to Mindfulness (complimentary for RDAWA Members and non-members)
DESCRIPTION:The Rural Doctors’ Association of Western Australia and Mindful Meditation Australia have teamed up to bring rural doctors this introduction to mindfulness. This comes at a time where the healthcare system is stretched like we have never seen it\, burn out is high and self care is extremely important. As busy professionals\, mindfulness is the perfect exercise to engage in within all aspects of your life – it’s free\, doesn’t require any equipment or lycra\, it can be done anywhere and only takes a few minutes every day. We hope that this session is a valuable start to you mindfully bringing awareness to yourself and using these tactics to make every day’s tough interactions easier.  \nMindful Self is a program that may inspire a workplace where leaders and staff experience improved relationships\, job performance and satisfaction\, as well as personal wellbeing through ways of dealing with personal and workplace stress\, anxiety and worry. \n  \nIn this introductory session we will go over the basic neuroscience of mindfulness and meditation practices\, as well as\, importantly\, inspire ways to engage\, and deal with\, workplace pressure through mindfulness and meditation tools for managing the self in work environments. \nRegistrations now open https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_w7Lg2Z3CRu-w2WAqEK8_XA \nFor more information about MMA and how you can involve them in your workplace see https://www.mindfulmeditationaustralia.org.au/what-we-do/mindful-healthcare  or sign up to their newsletter https://www.mindfulmeditationaustralia.org.au/learn-more/digital-newsletter
