"The Starter Pack" is a free educational package designed to assist general practice managers, practice nurses, Aboriginal Health and Social and Emotional Wellbeing Workers and practice reception staff to build the knowledge, skills and confidence to effectively respond to patients experiencing problematic alcohol and other drug (AOD) use in Queensland.
The package comprises nine brief education activities - an introductory eLearning module and eight live and recorded lunchbox education sessions - designed specifically for primary care practice staff.
eLEARNING MODULE: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD OF ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS
This introductory eLearning provides a brief overview of the key concepts and practice principles underpinning effective alcohol and other drug treatment. NB: This eLearning is a pre-requisite to the Lunchbox Education Sessions.
EIGHT LUNCHBOX EDUCATION SESSIONS
