General Practice PARTICIPANTS PLEASE NOTE:
The Can Do training package is currently being reviewed by the RACGP. As a result NO NEW Australian participants are able to register for this training to gain CPD points until this process is completed.

However, if you are a participant whom has partially completed the Can Do Training prior to 30 April 2009, you are able to receive CPD points on completion and are able to access this training during the quality review period.

AGPN expects the review process to be completed by 30 June 2009 and apologise for any inconvenience.

The ‘Can Do’ Initiative: Managing Mental Health and Substance Use in General Practice is a national Initiative, funded through the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing as part of the National Comorbidity Initiative. 

The initiative promotes a ‘Can Do’ approach to general practice to meet the challenge of mental health and substance use and focuses on education, training and networking between two multidisciplinary teams of health professionals:

• general practice teams, and
• community health teams (especially those engaged in alcohol and drug service, community pharmacy and mental health service delivery).

'Can Do' now comprises several components including Teams of Two, Clinical Education and eight population specific modules. Use the menu to the left to navigate between these components.

Check out the 'What's New' page for regular updates about what's happening in 'Can Do' and the mental health and substance use comorbidity field.
