OVERVIEW
This specialised forum will bring together a mix of stakeholders from both public and private for productive cross sector discussion on improving mental health models and facilities in Australia.
What can we learn from emerging innovative models? What do we need to do to enable new models of care for different cohorts? What are the challenges and opportunities with shifting funding models for mental health? How do we ensure we are delivering the right workforce and leveraging multidisciplinary teams to ensure better patient care? How do we need to rethink facilities design and planning for new models? These are just some of the questions to be explored in this critical one-day forum.
Key topics include:
- History of psychiatry in health precincts
- Innovative models of care in mental health
- Innovative mental health facilities for better modern care
- Integrating technology for personalised mental health solutions
- Evolving paradigms in mental health system and funding
- Accessibility and inclusivity in mental health facility design
