Chronic diseases are major contributors to the mortality gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and other Australians. The major contributors are heart disease, diabetes, liver diseases, chronic lower respiratory disease, cerebrovascular diseases, and cancer. Many of these diseases are associated with a range of inter-related factors that are common to more than one disease.
This interactive case-based workshop offers participants opportunity to better understand best practice in managing these illnesses in Aboriginal people and to develop a greater appreciation of the other factors impacting Aboriginal health and treatment of chronic disease.
Suitable for Primary Health Care Providers.
There is no cost to attend.
