30th IACAPAP Lunch & Learn Webinar

^{Note: This webinar has been scheduled to accommodate the time zone of the Asia Pacific's region.}

It is well recognised that there is a significant ‘voltage-drop’ between the outcomes demonstrated in clinical trials compared to those seen in day-to-day clinical practice. While it is easy to explain these away by citing the complexity of these real-world clinical presentations, or a lack of resources to provide gold-standard care it is also possible that we do not always make the best use of the available treatments and that we could be doing better. In physical medicine measurement-based care is frequently used to ensure that treatment outcomes are optimised and, equally importantly, treatment non-response and clinical deterioration are not missed. This lunch and learn session will focus on the potential uses of measurement-based care in child and adolescent mental health with and consider how these approaches could be implemented in low resource and low- and middle-income settings. We will discuss practical implementation and give suggestions about possible measurement tools and approaches. 

Professor Dave Coghill moved to Australia from Scotland in 2016. He is the Financial Markets Foundation Chair of Developmental Mental Health at the University of Melbourne. His research focuses on increasing understanding of child and adolescent mental health using a range of approaches with a particular focus on ADHD and the development of evidence based clinical pathways. He places a strong emphasis on developing systems that can facilitate the rapid transfer of research evidence into routine clinical practice. His Dundee ADHD clinical care pathway and approach to measurement-based care is recognized as world leading. He works clinically at the Parkville Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing Service where he is the medical lead for the Neurodevelopmental Disorders Clinical Stream.
