"In my experience, it's not common for GPs to be asking about gambling issues" - Dr Jenny Hunt.

In this episode, we hear from Dr Jenny Hunt, a public health physician with over 20 years' experience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. Dr Hunt delves into issues arising from gambling, referring to the Lifestyle chapter in the Third edition of the National Guide.

Dr Hunt explains that this chapter can inform the busy practice team that gambling is a serious issue, and give guidance on how healthcare providers might respond. Dr Hunt highlights key changes in recommendations in this edition.

The National Guide is one of the most widely used clinical guidelines in Australia, supporting primary healthcare providers to understand what works in preventive healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
