Practical ways to address alcohol and other use (Learning pathway)

Alcohol and other drug (AOD) use is a serious and complex problem in Australia. Many patients who visit their GP with a health concern may not be aware of the impact that their AOD use is having on their presenting health condition. GPs and patients can also feel uncomfortable talking about AOD use. As a result, GPs may hesitate to ask about AOD use and/or patients may not disclose the full extent of their AOD use for fear of being judged. The five modules in this learning pathway provide a comprehensive overview to addressing alcohol and other drug use behaviours in your patients.

Module 1: Essential skills in addressing alcohol and other drug use  1.5 EA, 0.5 RP

Module 2: Asking about and assessing alcohol and other drug use  O.5 EA, 0.5RP

Module 3: Supporting patients to change alcohol and other drug use behaviours and minimise harm EA, 0.5 RP

Module 4: Alcohol and other drug treatment planning and care coordination 0.5 EA, 0.5 RP

Module 5: General principles when supporting patients to withdraw from substances  0.5 EA,  0.5 RP

3.5 EA, 2.5 RP
Alcohol and other drugs: Supporting people in Contact with the criminal justice system This course is designed to build GP awareness, confidence and skills to meet the clinical healthcare needs of people who use alcohol and other drugs (AOD) and are in contact with the justice system. The content focuses on the post-release period using a range of viewpoints to explore the process of what happens when a GP takes over providing primary health services to a patient recently released from custody. 1 EA
Alcohol and other drugs: Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples Mental health and substance use are the biggest contributors to the overall burden of disease for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Regardless of workplace location, GPs will likely see Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and need to respect and incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture into their care. This eLearning course therefore provides practical steps for GPs to implement when caring for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients who use alcohol and drugs in a problematic manner. It also aims to help GPs deliver culturally safe care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. 1 EA
check,unit 609,Dementia,March 2024 This unit of check focuses on the initial assessment and diagnostic framework of mild cognitive impairment and dementia in primary care. 5 EA, 5 EA
Caring for patients in residential aged care facilities The care of older people is often complex. GPs are often required to collaborate with the patient’s broader multidisciplinary healthcare team in a way that focuses on the patient’s individual needs. There are also additional legal issues that need to be considered including capacity for consent, substitute decision making, advance care planning, voluntary assisted dying and abuse of older people. This eLearning module is designed to give GPs who work in RACFs an overview of safe and effective assessment and management strategies for patients in RACFs, as well as discuss some common legal issues that can arise when caring for patients in a RACF. 0.5 EA, 0.5 RP
