❗ UPCOMING GP Education:❗
Supporting ADHD patients and their GPs in our community.
🕕 Tuesday 18th March
6pm
Pine Rivers Private is here to support your patients and will also be presenting an education session for Mental Health and ADHD in the community setting.
At this dinner event, This session will delve into the assessment and management of executive dysfunction in adults, examining its presentation across conditions such as ADHD, mood disorders, and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). Executive dysfunction refers to difficulties with high-level cognitive processes such as planning, organising, decision-making, regulating attention, and managing emotions.
These challenges can significantly impact daily functioning, work performance, and relationships. The talk will equip general practitioners with practical strategies to differentiate between FTD and the main psychiatric (e.g., ADHD) causes of executive dysfunction in older adults and highlight therapeutic interventions, including the "Optimising Your Potential" program, to support patients with these difficulties.
Learning outcomes to be achieved;
1. Describe what executive dysfunction is and its impact on daily life and mental health.
2. Identify key symptoms and red flags that differentiate FTD from psychiatric disorders in adults.
3. Apply practical tools and strategies for the workup of executive dysfunction in primary care settings.
4.Describe the benefits of psychological interventions, such as "Optimising Your Potential," in improving executive functioning and patient outcomes.
2 CPD Educational Activity (EA) hours, along with 2 hrs Reviewing Performance (RP).
This activity is pending approval from the RACGP
