RESUMEN
Orygen's role in supporting the Australian Early Psychosis Program AEPP) includes workforce development and training. Aim(s): The aim of this project was to deliver training and to develop and connect a national early psychosis network during the global pandemic which reduced face to face workforce development activity. Method(s): A blended learning approach was adopted, incorporating sharing support resources for clinicians in managing risk online, and developing online training and discussion events. Multi-site workshops and interactive events were developed and delivered providing an avenue of support to clinicians and increasing activity and engagement with the AEPP hub where a range of resources and activities were available. The online AEPP hub was used as a central point for training, online events and other workforce development activity. Conclusion(s): Clinicians from Australia's Early Psychosis program were offered a range of activities across modalities to increase their support, connection, skills and knowledge during a period of time where it became increasingly difficult to share information in face to face settings. Data alongside quantitative information and evaluation was collected to understand if the strategy was successful. A blended interactive learning strategy that incorporates multi-site interactive workshops, online events and an online HUB' has been successful in connecting an early psychosis workforce and increasing engagement with each other via interactive modalities in a world unable to connect face to face. This data collected will be presented.
