At this webinar you will hear practical tips from expert GP medical educators about the importance of beginning this conversation early\, involving family and care-partners in the process\, appropriate use of cognitive assessment tools and ongoing reassessment.  \n\n\n\nThis event is approved for 1.0 hours of Educational Activities for RACGP. \n\n\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nRecall frameworks helpful in assessing and caring for people living with cognitive impairment and dementia \n\n\n\nExplain the impact that dementia can have on a person’s driving ability\n\n\n\nApply national driving guidelines when assessing a person’s ability to drive.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker information: \n\n\n\nDr Karen Savery is a Brisbane based GP who works in clinical practice\, residential aged care and medical education. She is passionate about the education and mentoring of GPs\, particularly in the area of aged care and dementia.

SUMMARY:General Practice in Aged Care Overview webinar
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs of 1 July 2024\, eligible GPs\, including sole providers can start participating in the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive. This incentive provides GPs and practices with financial incentives for delivering a quality bundle of care including regular visits and care plans to patients that live in a residential aged care home as part of MyMedicare. Incentive payments of $300 per patient\, per year\, to the responsible providers and $130 per patient\, per year\, to practices are available to participating GPs and general practices\, who provide services to each of their MyMedicare registered patients in a residential aged care home rather than at their practice. These payments will be made quarterly and are in addition to the MBS or DVA rebates and the MyMedicare benefits. To help GPs understand this new incentive and what it means for them\, the RACGP is hosting a webinar presented by the Department of Health and Aged Care. The webinar will provide an overview of the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive\, how GPs can make the most of the new incentive and how GPs can keep on top of their obligations under the scheme. The webinar will also feature a Q&A allowing participants to ask questions about the scheme directly to the Department.Speakers: \n\n\n\n\nParesh Dawda – GP and Director from Prestantia Health\n\n\n\nClare Sullivan – Acting Assistant Secretary\, Primary Care Quality and Design Branch
