Full or half day interactive workshop involving scenarios, discussion, and role-play with professional actors regarding multidisciplinary interactions along the pathway of care.

The patient‘s case is introduced and discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting, at which time participants decide on a team approach to the patient. The workshop follows the patient (played by an actor) through a series of consultations. Participants then review and revise their approach, and try out fresh options. Insights can then be assembled for transference back into the workplace.

Online program available by streaming and download podcast (55mins). Through a series of case studies, this program explores the principles of prevention and multidisciplinary management of chronic disease and the practical application in rural and remote health services.

Specific areas of discussion include early intervention and identification of risk factors, effective management of people already diagnosed with a chronic disease, the concept of self management, barriers to multidisciplinary care and potential solutions.
