Project ECHO – AOD Network WA aims to:
support greater connection between rural, remote and metropolitan practitioners, providing insight into place-based challenges and treatment options;
foster relationships between primary care practitioners and a range of specialists; and
contribute to growth of knowledge and confidence on AOD treatment in the primary care workforce.
ECHO learning sessions will be held monthly on a weeknight, beginning in February 2022. Those who register can choose to attend as many sessions as they like. Registration provides opportunity to indicate a preferred day of the week, with final dates to be communicated to registered participants and promoted on this page.
General Practitioners who attend a minimum of five sessions will be awarded 40 RACGP CPD Accredited Activity points at the end of each Peer Group Learning cycle. Those who attend fewer sessions are able to Quick Log their attendance for 2 RACGP CPD points per hour. For other participants, a Certificate of Attendance will be provided for your use via your respective accreditation pathway.
