The team from Phoenix Australia will present an overview of the evidence based psychological and pharmacological treatments for PTSD as recommended in the Guidelines, followed by a discussion of how the recommendations should be implemented in clinical practice. This includes consideration of the strengths and limitations of current evidence, second-line interventions and what to do when recommended treatments don’t work. We’ll also hear a personal perspective on the experience of PTSD and treatment.
Certificates of attendance will be issued for live attendance two weeks after the event.
A recording of this webinar will be made available within the coming months. Registered participants will be notified once the recordings are available for viewing.
