Greatly looking forward to the next two sessions at #RANZCP2021 on Maori and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mental health, feat Helen Milroy (WA Australian of the Year and Australia's first-ever Indigenous MD), Allister Bush, Mark Lawrence & Wiremu NiaNia
First up Palyku woman Helen Milroy, paying respects to elders. Will be speaking about complexities in Aboriginal MH #RANZCP2021 
How do cultural perspectives cross over with illness experiences? Milroy sharing some examples #RANZCP2021
Will be tweeting in a thread below from the joint @ranzcp-JSPN symposium on patient rights next #RANZCP2021
Our first speaker Neeraj Gill #RANZCP2021

Our first keynote at #RANZCP2021 today will be from Carole Warshaw, director of the US National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma & Mental Health
Warshaw talking emergence of trauma theory and how powerful it was for survivors - DV not a psychiatric condition but has many MH and substance use related effects. Reframing #RANZCP2021
Coercive control at the heart of DV, physical violence may be a threat to enforce but not always most prominent aspect, says Warshaw. Like being in a hostage situation, aided and abetted by systems - legal, migration and medical #RANZCP2021
Final session today is on the interplay of DV, substance use, trauma & MH. Chaired by @DrWilliams, with @ManjulaOConnor, Sathya Rao & Carole Warshaw; @croakeynews is at the veterans and first responders MH stream #RANZCP2021
First up is @ManjulaOConnor, on gender, social power & restrictive norms, leading to disparities and inequities #RANZCP2021
Gender is a system defining men and women in opposition and distributing power accordingly, privileging masculinity says O'Connor #RANZCP2021
This afternoon I will be tweeting from #RANZCP2021 sessions on mental health workforce, and DV, trauma & substance use. John Allan getting us underway now. @croakeynews will be covering sessions on ADHD, and the MH of veterans and first responders
The psychiatry workforce is ageing, and about 50:50 public vs private says Allan. Stressors include too much work to do with not enough time to do it #ranzcp2021
Just 6 psychiatrists in Australia service very remote regions. SIX! Versus 2,671 in the cities. Significant rural maldistribution #RANZCP2021
Back on deck at #RANZCP2021, tweeting from a session on the @ozprodcom inquiry into mental health. Discussions chaired by Harvey Whiteford from @QCMHR, who was associate commissioner. @CroakeyNews will be covering the session on aged care
Intros to Whiteford. First psychiatrist ever appointed to the @WorldBank, first advisory psychiatrist to the federal government. Will be talking to us about the @ozprodcom inquiry and last week's federal budget #RANZCP2021
Inquiry spanned 18 months from Oct 2018 to June last year, with report released in Nov. Was the biggest @ozprodcom inquiry ever, 1300 submissions from a spectrum of stakeholders, says Whiteford #RANZCP2021
We'll be hearing from @kgelber next on hate speech and its consequences. A problem she says is increasing in prominence and scope #RANZCP2021
Gelber talks about the mainstreaming in modern politics of hate speech and its threat to democracy
#RANZCP2021. Political leaders including Trump engaging directly in these discourses. Australia not immune. Scale of problem is huge

Hate or the presence of hate or dislike is not the key determinant of hate speech - discrimination is, says @kgelber. Hate speech is an act of discrimination that you carry out with your words. Doesn't have to be vituperative or epithet-laden #RANZCP2021
It wouldn't be a COVID-era conference without technical difficulties, but I am finally online at #RANZCP2021, hearing from @jasonleitch on experiences from Scotland
Really interesting presentation from @jasonleitch on continence bundles in care homes and importance of person-centred care. Many downstream effects #RANZCP2021
Hearing about NHS Near Me from @jasonleitch. Obviously a huge thing during #COVID19. Consulting with patients and practitioners about what they wanted in this new era. Patients: a receptionist to help them navigate; practitioners: a mix of live and telehealth patients #RANZCP2021
