Project ECHO Population Health Network – Child and Adolescent ADHD Series

Western Victoria Primary Health Network (WVPHN) invites all primary care clinicians to register for the Project ECHO Population Health Network – Child and Adolescent ADHD Series; an online interactive education and information program. Weekly ECHO sessions are held on Thursday mornings from 7.30am – 8.30am and will commence on Thursday 22 February 2024.

WVPHN has brought together an expert panel for each ECHO session.

Topics covered in this series include:

• Principles of best practice ADHD care
• Screening and assessment: Understanding the experiences behind the behaviours and navigating the system
• Co-occurring conditions (sleep, learning, anxiety, neurodevelopmental disorders, risky behaviours)
• The role of stimulants and other medications in treatment
• Recovery, social inclusion and connections

The aims of the sessions are to:  

• Describe the diagnostic classification of ADHD and identify commonly co-occurring conditions.
• Recognise the diverse experiences of children, adolescents and their caregivers and describe a patient centred and biopsychosocial approach to functional recovery and well-being.
• Discuss the potential role of primary care in ADHD identification, assessment, management, and support.
• Evaluate the barriers to providing best practice ADHD care for children, adolescents and their families.
• Participate in a community of interest, learning and practice.
