“…Many analyses of the pitfalls and obstacles to multidisciplinary health care have discussed the above and related issues (see Bray, 2004; Bray & Rogers, 1997; Gatchel & Oordt, 2003; Milgrom, Burrows, & Schwartz, 2001; Patterson, Peek, Heinrich, Bischoff, & Scherger, 2002; Stulp deGroot, Price, & Leslie, 1998; Winefield & Chur-Hansen, 2003). Haley et al (1998) provided a succinct list of 10 practical tips for psychologists moving into primary health care, which is clearly based on extensive considered experience.…”

“…This raises the question of conducting separate workshops for participants based on experience. We would not advocate holding workshops divided on the basis of profession, due to the anecdotal and documented benefits of interprofessional learning,[9] and because participants reported enjoying meeting and networking with colleagues from different disciplines. Telepsychiatry has made inroads by providing both consultations[5],[10] and training and professional development [11].…”

The workshop was well received and increased participants' knowledge about the management of acute psychiatric presentations. Qualitative data indicate that the pharmacological management and neurobiology of psychiatric illness was interesting but difficult for some participants, and further training in these areas may be appropriate in future workshops. Inclusion of all professional stakeholders in future training is recommended, including students, to promote interest in working in rural and remote health. Participants considered networking with colleagues as an important benefit of the workshop. Targeted training in psychiatry may be needed for overseas-trained doctors. Further, rigorous research is needed to evaluate the long-term benefits of up-skilling workshops, and to inform funding bodies as to where resources might be most effectively channelled.
