Join our expert panel to learn about the mental health implications for people living with tics and Tourette syndrome, a condition that is often stigmatised and misunderstood.

In this webinar, the panel will:

• Discuss Tourette syndrome and the range and severity of tics, including comorbidities and associated stigma.

• Appraise screening, identification, assessment and diagnosis of tics and Tourette syndrome.

• Evaluate the recommended therapeutic approaches that have proven successful in treatment.

• Outline the importance of collaboration and appropriate referrals when providing care to people living with tics and/or Tourette syndrome.

Emerging technologies such as automated decision-making (ADM) and artificial intelligence (AI) are being increasingly applied within healthcare contexts. However, media coverage tends to focus on overseas examples. What is happening here in Australia? What technologies actually exist, and what does AI look like in practice? What are the opportunities and impacts for health consumers?

In this webinar, researchers, Dr Ash Watson and Vaughan Wozniak-O’Connor, will answer these questions and share their findings. They will be joined by Steve Woodyatt, CEO at Datarwe, a digital health technology company and Roma Cecere, consumer advocate, who will respond and share their experiences in this developing space.

With the benefits of social prescribing now widely known, many healthcare professionals and organisations support the RACGP’s call for its formal inclusion in national long-term healthcare plans and standard primary care. The recently released primary health care 10-year plan 2022–32 also states that social prescribing will have a formal place in Australian general practice, recognising that it ‘seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way’ and ‘aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health’.

The new parkrun practice initiative aims to promote social prescribing by strengthening links between practices and their community.
