The Youth Friendly Consultation Skills course
aims to support you in working effectively with your adolescent patients. This
will include considering youth health problems within the context of adolescent development, tips and
tools for having a practice that is more accessible to youth, conducting
youth friendly consultations, and further exploration of risk assessment tools that can
be implemented with these patients.
The materials in this course were developed by the Maternity, Child, Youth
and Paediatrics Unit in Ministry of Health and adapted for online delivery by
the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM).
The module is presented by Clinical Professor David Bennett (Adolescent
Physician), an adolescent health physician with a major interest in the
development of integrated, creative health services for young people and their
families.
