Belmont Private Hospital and Currumbin Clinic Host Mental Health Matters Symposium

Sponsored by Servier, the interactive mental health education event for General Practitioners was a great success.

With around 40 guests and representatives in attendance, event delegates had the opportunity to discuss key areas of adult mental health with four of our Consultant Psychiatrists from Belmont Private Hospital and Currumbin Clinic.

Dr Dagmar Hlincikova (MBBS, AMC (Cert), FRANZCP, MUDR Comenius) from Belmont Private Hospital presented on Perinatal Mental Health Issues; what you need to know while Dr Saibal Guha (MBBS, MD, FRANZCP) led an informed discussion on Depression and Recovery; progress and pitfalls.

Dr Vicky Satchwell (MBBS (Lond), MRCPsych, FRANZCP, Cert, Addiction.Psych) from Currumbin Clinic presented on Early Psychosis while Dr James Goldstein (MBBS (Lond), FRANZCP, BMedSci, MCM(Distinction) Cert, Addiction.Psych ) delivered on the topic of Prescription Opiates.

Presentations across the day were well received by all with a stream of positive feedback from the GP’s in attendance.
