AEP Case Conference: Mental Health
Do you want to learn more about mental health?
Join our upcoming AEP Case Conference
AEP Case Conferences are online Learning activity discussions designed to support AEPs build confidence in clinical practice. They aim to provide an opportunity for a small group of AEPs to discuss best practice approaches for a specific client (case).
What is covered?
Two expert AEPs, Dr. Oscar Lederman and Laura (Law) Edwards will facilitate a small group discussion for a client referred by a GP under a chronic disease management plan to treat depression and anxiety. The secondary purpose of the referral is to manage T2DM and obesity.
We will discuss how to approach each stage of a client’s journey – from referral, assessment, design of intervention and delivery to monitoring, review and reporting.
How can AEPs benefit?
• Identify the most appropriate and relevant options for assessment and exercise prescription
• Understand the application of clinical reasoning
• Understand how to best manage client expectations and referrer obligations
• Opportunity to ask the experts questions, seek feedback on current practice and gain confidence in treating clients with mental illness and comorbidities.
