The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) and North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) are coming together to co-design and test a community of practice for clinicians to support them in their care for child mental health problems.
Clinicians practicing in the NWMPHN region and seeing infants, children and adolescents with mental health concerns are invited to take part. Please see the two-page summary document for more information.
What are we asking clinicians to do?
We will run two co-design sessions with local clinicians (GPs, paediatricians, psychologists, HeadtoHelp and CAREinMIND™ clinicians) to develop the community of practice model. The model will likely include regular case discussions. These case discussions will be led by two experienced child and adolescent psychiatrists from the RCH, Dr Chidambaram Prakash and Dr Sarah Seth. We are inviting clinicians to join a co-design meeting to discuss how you would like the case discussions to run, when, and topics to cover.
