Adult ADHD webinar survey

CLOSED: This survey has concluded.
Metro North Health and Brisbane North PHN invite GPs to join your general practice colleagues and staff specialist adult psychiatrist Dr Ravinder Sohal for a state-wide discussion about adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder causing a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity. Contrary to popular belief, the symptoms do not disappear in adulthood. ADHD has gained prominence in the public conversation, and GPs are commonly approached with related inquiries.
Adult ADHD is estimated to affect at least three per cent of the adult population of Australia (500,000 individuals). Of that three per cent, it is further estimated that 75 per cent are unaware that they have the condition and thus are both unassessed and untreated.
Topics will include recognising and co-managing adult ADHD, supporting patients who are exploring a diagnosis of ADHD, resources for GPs, families and patients with ADHD, as well as prescribing considerations for GPs caring for patients with adult ADHD.

Take Survey
Brisbane North PHN has committed to embedding The Framework for Mental Health in Multicultural Australia. This involves two key areas of commitment:
1. Understanding how we can support our organisational workforce to reflect and deliver culturally responsive practice individually and
2. Understanding how we can support our providers and practitioners in delivering culturally responsive care and practice.
This survey aims to gather a broad understanding of mental health and wellbeing approaches utilised by services in supporting Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities across Brisbane North PHN region including understanding some of the barriers and enablers to CALD people accessing mental health care services and support.
Your input will inform our joint regional planning around the region’s current capability and capacity to support the unique and specific mental health needs of CALD people. Additionally, it will provide an understanding of the knowledge, skills and capabilities already available from commissioned service providers and what additional support may be needed to enhance multicultural competency.
