Facilitated by:
Dr Bianca Forrester, has lived and worked in the Geelong community for 15 years. She is a senior lecturer in Primary Care at the University of Melbourne and is also a lecturer at Deakin’s School of Medicine. In addition to her clinical work, she runs several communities of practice on issues including COVID care, family violence and youth mental health.
In part 1, we reflected on the increased complexity of Eating Disorders presentations to the Royal Children’s Hospital and in our own DiSS clinics and we discussed the importance of a well-developed formulation and team-based care. Often working in isolation, how can GPs build a best-practice team of care providers around the patient and their families? Nurses play a crucial role in care coordination and care, how can they support the formation and communication across these teams and how can we ensure that teams who are not co-located are on the same page?
