We are progressing toward a pilot program to expand the GP scope of practice in ADHD management. As we move through the final regulatory steps for Stage 1 and prepare for implementation, your voice matters.
What to expect
The webinar will be presented by Dr Melanie Dorrington, Chief GP and Primary Care Advisor, and Dr Anthony Cidoni, Chief Psychiatrist. They will discuss the following:
1. Continuation Prescribing Changes
This section will outline how GPs will be able to continue prescribing psychostimulants for stable patients already diagnosed with ADHD in the ACT, without requiring review by a non-GP specialist.
We will provide information on:
- Required training
- How GPs can register for the program
- Expected timelines
There will also be an opportunity for questions relating to this part of the program.
2. GP Diagnosis of ADHD and Initiation of Psychostimulants
This section will provide an update on the progress of allowing GPs to diagnose ADHD and initiate psychostimulant treatment for patients without a previous ADHD diagnosis in the ACT.
We welcome questions, feedback, and discussion about this aspect of the pilot.
This is a pilot because we know there is room to learn and improve during implementation. Your feedback will help us design a program that meets the needs of clinicians and the community.
Register now to be part of the conversation and help us get this right!
This webinar is aimed at ACT GPs.
