Non-pharmacological strategies in the management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention, impulse control and emotional regulation across the lifespan. Although pharmacological treatment is often effective, many patients benefit from additional psychological and lifestyle-based interventions that support daily functioning. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of evidence-based non-pharmacological strategies for ADHD that may assist patients in general practice.
The model seeks to support both the desire of GPs for more predictable and less onerous work commitments and to reduce the need for any significant up front financial investment on their part.
Detecting and preventing cervical cancer: a nurse-led model for rural Aboriginal women
This paper describes the development of a new healthcare model to address the detection and prevention of cervical cancer for Aboriginal women in a regional centre in NSW that serves women from a wide catchment area. It examines the use of a nurse practitioner-led model in an outreach context and also as a way of reducing barriers to access for a service. The paper demonstrates how the strength of healthcare partnerships can be the foundation upon which significant barriers in accessing services are addressed.
