Black Dog Institute Podcasts for Health Professionals

Presenter Jan Orman is sitting this episode out, but she knows Wayne Wigham. Wayne is the big bloke that sits at the desk next to hers in the Black Dog Institute’s education team office. He’s an ex-footballer with a big heart and the gift of being able to talk like a real person – especially about his struggles with his mental health.

Jan learnt a lot about Wayne from this podcast – and a lot about what it’s like to be a big tough guy with depression. She also learnt why Wayne works so hard to get the message about depression out to the community – and why he does it so well.

Ensuring safety is generally uppermost in the minds of clinicians caring for people with mental illness. Similarly, supporting autonomy and self-determination throughout illness and recovery is widely viewed as an essential component of compassionate, respectful healthcare.

Inevitably, dilemmas arise in mental health practice when these two aspirations cannot be held concurrently in their entirety, rendering clinical decision-making particularly complex.

In our June 2017 Expert Insights evening we discuss the interface between mental health practice and the law, including times that necessitate involuntary assessment and treatment as well as occasions when the limits of confidentiality may need reconsidering.

Panel members:

His Honour Judge Richard Cogswell SC - President of Mental Health Review Tribunal

Dr Chris Ryan - Clinical Associate Professor | Consultation-Liaison Psychiatrist University of Sydney | Westmead Hospital | Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine

Kathryn and Joanne - Lived Experience Representative

Facilitated by: Dr Vered Gordon, Black Dog Institute GP Consultant
