Developed by RCSWA General Practitioners, in collaboration with Dr Mat Coleman (Psychiatrist). The
training program is designed to enhance the skills of GP's in treating depression and suicidality.
The program is made up of two modalities:
Part 1: Online Module - (approx. 90mins to complete all modules)

Part 2: Face-to-Face Workshop - (approx. 90 mins with a light meal included)
Collaborative conversations, including sharing of clinical experiences, complex scenario analyses,
debriefing and learning from adverse outcomes. Facilitated by a GP and supported by a local
psychiatrist.
Both online module and workshop are CPD accredited.
There are four options available to you:
Online module and Rural workshop
Online module and Metro workshop

Workshop only
We recommend completing the online modules prior to attending a workshop but it is not
mandatory.
Location and dates for each workshop will be displayed when you choose your preference within the
registration form. Please note, if you are a rural GP and unable to attend your local workshop, you
are
welcome to register for a metro workshop.
Once you have registered you will be enrolled into the online module and/or receive further details
of
your nominated workshop.
