Conference: Chronic Disease Management in People with Intellectual Disability
The CDDHV hosted this year's Health Issues Special Interest Group Roundtable at the Monash Centre in Prato, Italy from May 21-23 with the theme of Chronic Disease Management. The conference brought together over 50 doctors from around the world and provided a focus for discussion in this important aspect of disease management in people with intellectual disability. The conference was invaluable in developing networks with European Colleagues and will form the basis for several publications in Chronic Disease Management.

CDDHV has moved
The CDDHV has moved to new premises in Notting Hill and now shares the building with the School of Primary Health Care administration, Department of General Practice, General Practice Research and the Clinical Psychology Centre. The Centre has 3 new clinic rooms with observation facilities for research and student training. The new facility is already proving an advantage with increased interaction with both General Practice and Psychological Medicine. The Centre also has increased access to medical students who are using the teaching facilities at the new building as part of general practice training.
