Primary Health
Sally comes from a background of medical administration, management and leadership with over twenty five years’ experience working with GPs in Primary care and youth mental health services. Sally has a Grad. Cert. in Medical Management and Leadership (UOW) and Grad. Cert. in Documentary film (AFTRS). She joined the team at InsideOut Institute in October 2020.
Sally is passionate about the importance of wholistic care including mental and physical multidisciplinary care for patients with eating disorders and other mental health conditions. She has presented on the role of the GP in the headspace model and sat on the GP project committee developing the headspace GP model integrity framework, the headspace national data roundtable and has worked as a consultant on the headspace GP Registrar program. At InsideOut she has been involved and lead the development of innovative tools and supports for GPs and patients in Primary Care and in research/translation to improve services and recovery for those living with an eating disorder in Australia.
With a background in the arts as a filmmaker and musician, Sally enjoys taking a lateral and creative approach to problems and barriers around access and quality of care for those living with eating disorders. As an expert in service provision and management, she is inspired to solve problems, by not only exploring the bigger picture, but also looking into the detail of processes, workflow, culture, software, digital health, clinical governance and quality improvement.
This pilot study evaluated the acceptability and effectiveness of an online microlearning program for GPs to help support patients with eating disorders. Results demonstrated improved skills, confidence, and willingness-to-treat among participating GPs.
