Deepen your Understanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Training for General Practice

This full-day conference aims to equip your clinical and practice staff with a deeper understanding of the common health issues impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and builds upon our previous workshops:

• Demonstrate communication skills taking into account doctor/patient interaction, organisation and socio-political issues.
• Contextualise the education activity in current National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health initiatives, including Closing the Gap initiative and Practice Incentives Program Indigenous Health Incentive (PIP IHI).
• Define the goals for best practice management of Chronic Kidney Disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to delay progression and prevent complications.
• Identify the requirements for a practice based system to screen for Chronic Kidney Disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other high risk patient checks.
• Establish procedures for follow up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients through practice based recall systems.

This event is for GP’s, Registrars, Nurses, Practice Managers, Practice Staff and health care teams.
