Disaster recovery: GP self-care after a disaster
During a crisis, GPs and other health professionals play a pivotal role in caring for and supporting those affected by natural disasters and emergencies. With a large influx of patients requiring assistance within short timeframes, frontline responders tend to overlook their own personal needs for support and instead focus on other people requiring medical attention. This module will explore the importance of, and key strategies for, self-care by GPs caring for people after natural disasters or emergencies.

Family abuse and violence – Gp support and self-care
This eLearning module is the final in a series of ten online modules which focus on addressing the public health issue of family abuse and violence at a general practice level, by improving the knowledge, skills and confidence of GPs in detecting and responding to incidences of family abuse and violence. This module is available within the Family Abuse and Violence learning pathway but may be completed individually for CPD hours.

Addressing doctors' health: caring for ourselves and our colleagues
Healthy medical practitioners are integral to optimising patient safety and quality of care. GPs are therefore expected to take responsibility for their own physical and psychological health and also support colleagues in maintaining their wellbeing and seeking help when unwell. This eLearning module therefore aims to promote psychological health and wellbeing and will present strategies you can use to address your own health as well as that of your colleagues.

Healthy Habits - Mini Audit
Evidence shows that when clinicians advise and support patients to make lifestyle changes, more than half can achieve positive outcomes within six months. However, creating and maintaining new habits around nutrition and physical activity takes time and effort. Clear, specific goals are crucial to help patients stay motivated and focused. Healthy Habits, a free digital tool from RACGP, offers a solution by equipping GPs and GP teams with resources to support patients in establishing and sustaining healthy lifestyle changes.
