SUMMARY:[Webinar] Medical Trauma: A Psychological Medicine Perspective for General Practice with Dr Annie Fonda
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 23 February 2027\nTime: 7:30pm – 9:00pm AEDT\nVenue: Online via Zoom\nCosts: Members – FREE\nNon Members: $50 *excl. GST \n\n\n\nSession Overview\nSome patients arrive in our consulting rooms carrying experiences of healthcare that frightened\, overwhelmed\, dismissed or invalidated them. Hospital admissions\, procedures\, birth experiences and not being believed can leave a lasting mark. For people living with chronic illness or disability\, repeated encounters with the healthcare system may compound these experiences. \nMedical trauma can present in subtle ways: avoidance of investigations or hospital care\, dissociative or freeze responses\, mistrust\, or behaviours labelled as “difficult”. \nThis webinar explores how medical trauma develops\, the interaction between traumatic experiences and invalidation\, and how GPs can recognise and respond to its effects. Drawing on a psychological medicine perspective\, we will consider practical approaches to restoring safety\, trust and agency\, navigating complex relationships with treating teams\, and reflecting on our own responses as clinicians. \nLearning outcomes\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand how medical trauma develops through the interaction of individual vulnerabilities\, frightening or disempowering healthcare experiences\, invalidation and systemic factors\, including repeated exposure to healthcare.\nRecognise the varied presentations of medical trauma in general practice\, including avoidance\, mistrust\, dissociation and difficulties engaging with care.\nApply trauma-informed and psychologically attuned approaches to consultations\, balancing validation of the patient’s experience with clinical assessment\, shared decision-making and collaboration with treating teams.\nReflect on the GP’s role in restoring trust and continuity of care\, including awareness of their own emotional responses and the challenges of working within imperfect healthcare systems\n\nAbout your facilitator: Dr Annie Fonda\nMBBS (Hons) | FRACGP | MPH | FASPM \n\n\n\n\nDr Annie Fonda is a GP with advanced training in psychological medicine\, EMDR therapy and perinatal mental health. She currently practises at the Grass Tree Group\, a multidisciplinary psychiatry practice focused on trauma and recovery\, and at Catherine’s House\, Mater’s centre for mothers\, babies and families. \nWith over 20 years of experience in complex medical and mental health settings\, including Indigenous health and perinatal services\, Annie brings a trauma-informed\, relational approach to her clinical work. \nShe is an EMDRAA Accredited Practitioner\, a Fellow of the Australian Society for Psychological Medicine\, and holds RACGP recognition of Extended Skills in Psychological Medicine.
