2008 Division of General Practice Youth Health Forum

14 March 2008 (Friday)

• Youth Health ~ making the connections!

In partnership with the Alliance of NSW Divisions (ANSWD), NSW CAAH hosted a Youth Health Forum for NSW Divisions of General Practice (DGP), as part of our joint GP Strategy.

The aim of this one day event was to engage NSW DGPs and other stakeholders in advancing adolescent health through general practice in NSW by networking, information exchange and resource sharing. The day's agenda included networking opportunities, workshop activities and presentations on:

• Report on NSW CAAH GP Strategy research
• Young people's access to GPs
• Educating GPs in adolescent health

Participants were also given the opportunity to showcase their organisation's resources and tools on youth development and youth programming during a lunchtime display session. This Forum was held at The Kerry Packer Institute for Child Health Research, Level 1 at The Children's Hospital at Westmead. Participation in this forum was by invitation only.

A summary report of the day's outcomes as well as the findings of the NSW CAAH GP Strategy research will be available in June 2008.
