Depression Dilemmas
Depression Dilemmas is a new interactive workshop that tackles areas of treating mood disorders that clinicians can find particularly demanding. Using case studies as the platform for learning, the program explores strategies to tackle depression in the context of alcohol use disorder, late life depression and depression that is failing to remit, despite seemingly adequate treatment. Open to both general practitioners and psychologists, this advanced workshop also provides an opportunity for the two professions to interact, share each other’s perspective and problem solve together.
Topic 1: Depression and Alcohol
Topic 2: Late Life Depression
Topic 3: Difficult to Treat Depression
Enrolment fee of $50 will be reimbursed to Gippsland based health professionals following attendance at the workshop.

Practice Manager Network Meeting: Leading Effective Teams
What exactly are the traits of effective teams?
You’ll learn what an effective team looks like and the six steps to build, maintain and lead an effective practice team, and then you’ll take the team effectiveness questionnaire.
Tanya will share key coaching techniques that will enable you to build accountability and responsibility in your teams - and allow you to focus on your own work rather than respond to micro interruptions that hijack your day.
You’ll learn the common traps that lead to work overload and how to avoid these, and discover contemporary strategies to manage your own and the team's wellbeing. You’ll receive handouts that support and reinforce these learnings.
