Psychology Webinar Benefits

People with complex mental health needs rarely move seamlessly between primary care, hospital and community settings, and often benefit from a range of clinical, practical and psychosocial support. The associated challenges can negatively impact the provision of integrated and effective multidisciplinary care.

Register for this moderated session to see four esteemed practitioners respond in-situ to hypothetical scenarios about people living with diverse, changing and complex needs. With no advance briefings about each scenario, the panel will respond "on the spot”, demonstrating the strategies they’d employ to overcome challenges and work together to provide support, treatment and care.

The scenarios will include people experiencing complex mental health conditions, psychosocial needs and housing insecurity.

Attend to:

• Gain valuable insights from experts about how multidisciplinary care would ideally better support each scenario

• See the panel grapple with, and identify strategies to overcome the real hurdles when working as part of a multidisciplinary team that works in a variety of sectors

If you work in primary care, acute and sub-acute settings, or the community sector, don’t miss this exciting opportunity to enhance your multidisciplinary practice.

All attendees will receive a Certificate of Attendance for CPD purposes and access to additional resources to help support your multidisciplinary practice.

Learning outcomes:

• Identify the hurdles and enablers to cross sectoral multidisciplinary care

• Distinguish between what different disciplines are willing and able to contribute and to receive in order to support cross sectoral multidisciplinary care

• Apply the showcased tips and strategies
