Reconnexion and NPS Medicinewise are delighted to co-host the Australian premiere of Medicating Normal, a documentary that follows five individuals who were prescribed medications to help with their mental health, but which instead had a devastating impact on their lives.

Immediately after the virtual screening there will be an interactive community discussion with our panel: Dr Hester Wilson, Dr Caroline West, James Szeto, Natalie Corrigan, Dr Killian Ashe, and Dr David Jacka.

This webinar will discuss the management of COVID-19 positive patients in the Central Coast community as we transition into the “living with COVID” phase of the pandemic.

The Guidelines are primarily intended to inform decision makers, including employers and funding bodies and to support change across the mental health sector by improving understanding of the benefits of the Lived Experience workforce and by supporting employers to assess their local readiness and prioritise activities that support successful implementation.

The Guidelines and their companion documents are aimed at building understanding and providing guidance on how the Lived Experience workforce can be grown and supported at the local level.

We will be presenting details about some of the key IBD guidelines available for GPs, a new IBD summary guideline and the training to be released in the coming months. The webinar is free-of-charge but registration is essential.

IBD GP Aware stems from a priority area identified in the Federal Government’s IBD National Action Plan to support GPs to more effectively participate in IBD management through awareness and a suite of education resources and continuing professional development.

GP Aware is led by Crohn’s & Colitis Australia with consortium partners the Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) and the Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL). The project is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health.

As we reach target COVID-19 vaccination rates the majority of COVID-19 positive people will be managed in the community and won’t require hospitalisation.
