The conference recordings offer Australian GPs crucial expertise for managing the highly comorbid conditions of ADHD and Eating Disorders (EDs). GPs are identified as the gatekeepers and driving force of long-term care for these complex, chronic conditions.
Learn practical screening techniques, including the use of quick tools like the ASRS short form and the BED-7 question, to confidently detect these often-missed diagnoses in busy consultations.
Expert presentations detail how to initiate and safely monitor Schedule 8 medications, manage common complications (such as hypertension or anxiety), and navigate complex state-based regulations. Furthermore, the content underscores how to leverage the 'generous Medicare funding', including over 60 items for ED treatment, to build essential multidisciplinary support systems involving psychologists and dietitians.
Watching these recordings will empower GPs to confidently manage these patients and anticipate future changes expanding the GP’s role.
