ISRII/ASPR e-Health Workshop 2009: From Research to Implementation

Tuesday 1st December 2009, 9am - 5pm
Members Dining Room, Old Parliament House, Canberra, Australia.

Keynote Speaker: Professor Pim Cuijpers

Pim Cuijpers is Head of the Department of Clinical Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and leader of the Research Programme “Cognition, affect, behaviour, and intervention in mental disorder”. The main aim of this research program is to generate knowledge on the development of mental disorders and psychological treatment of mental disorders, with a focus on prevention and early intervention and internet-based interventions.

Pim Cuijpers has published about 300 peer reviewed papers, chapters, reports and professional publications on the epidemiology, etiology, prevention and (early) treatment of depression, and on guided self-help for depression. He will be presenting at both the e-health satellite and ASPR conferences.

The ISRII/ASPR e-health Workshop is designed to facilitate engagement between researchers, governmental health policy makers, GP and health groups, representatives from NGOs and consumers, specifically addressing the need to increase the recognition and use of e-mental health tools. One session will be dedicated to discussion of e-health issues in Primary Care. The focus of the workshop will be on addressing big-picture issues such as sustainability, dissemination and strategic directions.

The ISRII/ASPR e-health workshop provides a forum for key interest groups in e-health (researchers, GPs, policy makers) to discuss major issues affecting the field, with the aim of devising specific solution pathways. Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to engage with stakeholders from other perspectives, and play a role in forward planning for the field as a whole.

Audience: Researchers in e-health, GPs and health groups, governmental health policy makers, representatives from NGOs and consumers.
