08.01.2022 Glimpses from last nights interactive webinar with our expert panelists - Prof David Barton, Dr Megan Stewart and Prof Suresh Sundaram. The Topic was - Schizophrenia - Are we doing enough? Great discussion around systems in Australia when treating complex mental illness. Some points that were discussed: Prof Sundaram: ... The need for a transformative paradigm shift in thinking about the illness. A greater need for collaboration between Primary and Tertiary care. Thinking about Cognitive and Negative symptoms and not just positive symptoms. Putting mental health in general at the forefront of medicine. (high levels of disability but a disproportionately lower budget allocation) Prof Barton: Changing the name from schizophrenia (which carries societal stigma) to disintegration syndrome - the Japanese model. Creating spaces - not just headspace for youth but - a grey space (elderly); mid-space (adults) with GP practices co-located. Access to services not based on diagnosis but disability Dr Megan Stewart (GP) Annual health check for patients with schizophrenia - incentives for GPs Valuing the work of mental health nurses to bridge the gap between Primary and specialist care Specialists co-located in GP practices - reducing the mind-dichotomy We are planning other exciting discussions coming up soon.
