Wake up! SleepSchool is fast approaching!

We once again have our bags packed and ready to leave dreary Melbourne for sunny Brisbane to showcase our most popular course for psychiatrists and registrars - SleepSchool!


SleepSchool is our one day workshop that delivers up to date information about sleep disorders and psychiatry. Sponsored by an educational grant from CSL Biotherapies, we will once again be bringing together our team of experts;

• Dr Tony Fernando, NZ
• Dr David Cunnington, Vic, and
  
• Dr Curt Gray, Qld

to educate you about this important area of psychiatry. In addition to an informative lecture series we will run an afternoon session covering OSCE examination preparation, chaired by Dr Curt Gray, Committee for Examinations Member, RANZCP.

So for all you registrars out there asking for extra OSCE practice prior to the October clinicals, join us in Brisbane!

The course is free for psychiatrists and regsitrars, and if you haven't received an invitation, please email us at info@cpdformulations.com.au for a copy.

So, where can you find us?

SleepSchool© feedback from the RACGP: Glowing praise!

A very big thank you to Alyssa Milton, our Marketing and Creative director. The College of GPs were thrilled at the quality of our recent SleepSchool© workshops, and in particular the delivery of education regarding this area to GPs. We will continue to deliver programs of similar quality. If you have an area of clinical medicine you would like to hear more about, let us know!

Can't sleep because of the exams?

This is a common phenomena and pretty much universal. However, once the exams are over things tend to settle down and we get back to normal routine.

But for many of our patients, sleep is a huge problem, either because of their mental illness, or the effects of medication, or both.

We have been running SleepSchool, a full day workshop that speaks to this important topic and made possible by an educational grant from CSL Laboratories. The feedback has been overwhelming after we held successful workshops in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. We are planning for more workshops but want to hear about what you’d like to know about sleep Psychiatry. Feel free to talk to Alyssa at the RANZCP conference in Adelaide in 2009. She’ll be based at the CSL stand.

Interestingly, there will be a symposium on sleep disorders as part of the RANCZP program. This symposium has not been organised by CPD Formulations but encompasses the key themes of the SleepSchool series, and you may notice the same speakers. We think it’s a great thing that psychiatrists are talking more about sleep!
