Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Pre-conference Workshop (Repeated)  Thursday, 12 June 2014 Start 8:30am Duration: 120mins QE Health Start 11:00am Duration: 120mins QE Health What does it look like? How is it relevant to my practice as a GP? How can my Practice Nurse be involved? How do my clients access such a service? When is the right time to refer? What do I do with my clients once they have been through such a programme? These questions will be answered in a two hour interactive workshop where specific rheumatological and chronic pain conditions, especially high end cases that complicate a GP practice, can be discussed. Our approach is holistic.
