This workshop will look at the origins and aetiology of self-hatred, its relationship to shame, and some of the clinical difficulties that self-hatred presents during psychotherapy.

‘SO YOU’RE SAYING IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD?’ COMMUNICATION THE DIAGNOSIS OF FND
M Macfarlane
Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District, Wollongong, NSW, Australia
The diagnosis of functional neurological disorder (FND) is most commonly made by neurology teams in inpatient or outpatient settings. The way this diagnosis is communicated is very important, with people who suffer from FND often feeling invalidated by the process. This talk will draw on the work of Scamvourgeras and Howard to provide a template for communicating the diagnosis of FND, with tips for explaining what is known about the mechanism of the symptoms and setting up the paradigm for rehabilitation and recovery while giving the rationale for proposed treatment programmes.

Coordinated implementation of a state-wide model of care that incorporates all tiers of MH services will promote consistent evidence-based care regardless of which service is first approached.
Provision of BPD-appropriate interventions at residential services such as Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) creates opportunities for therapeutic outcomes.
Targeted education and resources within EDs may help to shift staff attitudes and competence during their interactions with patients with BPD.

BoJack Horseman: an animated series in which the anthropomorphic horse protagonist is a previously successful and now unemployed actor with struggles with addiction, the sequelae of childhood trauma and neglect, depression and (arguably) a narcissistic or borderline character structure. The show also touches on psychotherapeutic strategies and includes a nuanced depiction of antidepressant therapy, gendered violence, paraphilias and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Maniac: a limited series with sci-fi elements that follows individuals entering a drug trial for a novel system of assessment and treatment of a range of mental illnesses.
Undone: an animated psychological comedy/drama that has you wonder, along with its protagonist, whether her experiences are real, spiritual or the beginnings of psychosis.
Wanderlust: a British TV series about a therapist and her journey through an accident, relationship difficulties and a foray into ethical non-monogamy. It is unique for its accurate portrayal of the patient–therapist relationship, both with the protagonist’s patients and with her own therapist.

The session will be an interactive session that will provide undergraduate medical educators with an experiential update on delivering undergraduate psychiatry teaching virtually. At the end of the session, delegates will learn how to:
Promote asynchronous learning through the use of artificial intelligence, online webinars, media and films.
Deliver synchronous learning through the use of virtual ward rounds and virtual outpatient clinics, use of virtual expert patient sessions, teaching in specific psychiatric settings (e.g. forensic, eating disorders, CAMHS) and online simulation.
Conduct virtual formative and summative assessments for medical undergraduates.
Arrange a virtual psychiatry placement for medical undergraduates (including the provision of online Balint groups).
Maintain a supportive and caring virtual learning environment, with space and time for delivery of the ‘hidden curriculum’.
Recognise the challenges of delivering effective online supervision to medical undergraduates, including international undergraduates.

Parallels can be drawn between how the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists functions as a bi-national College and the challenges of this Federation. Diverging national interests and increasingly divergent health systems also pose challenges for the bi-national College.
The Chairs of the State Branches and New Zealand (NZ) present their perspectives on the implications of these shifting governance dynamics for the bi-national College and its Branches/NZ. They will explore the extent to which these changes have been reflected in the activities of the Branches/NZ since the pandemic’s onset.
Each Branch/NZ will briefly present the last 2 years opportunities, failures and achievements and changing relationships within its jurisdiction and beyond. A panel discussion will follow on implications for future College internal dynamics, particularly exploring shifting roles and responsibilities.

In the 2021–2022 state budget in May 2021, the Victorian government followed up on its undertaking to implement these recommendations in full by committing A$3.8 billion towards improving the MH system over the next 4°years. Now, 15 months since the Report was released, it is timely to review the progress made towards achieving the Royal Commission’s stated goals.
The involvement of people with lived experience of mental illness and psychological distress in the leadership, design, implementation and evaluation of MH services is a cornerstone of the Royal Commission’s recommendations. Has the Victorian system embraced this change and what difference has it made? Does system and culture change need time? And are psychiatrists as leaders adapting to shared leadership?
The Royal Commission has provided a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change the outcomes and experience of mental healthcare in Victoria and this could have implications for other states. Is it likely to lead to massive improvements in the provision of MH care in a manner that previous reports have not?

BEYOND NAMES AND PRONOUNS: TRANS AND GENDER DIVERSE (TGD) PERSPECTIVE ON WHAT CULTURALLY SAFE AND HUMBLE PRACTICE MEANS IN A TGD CONTEXT

Some professional organisations – including the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists – has called for more education around TGD cultural competency and safety. More education is often limited to the use of preferred names and pronouns (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists [RANZCP], 2021).
This presentation will be based on my experience of providing clinical education at various levels (most recently within the Auckland Training Program) around TGD competency over the past 10 years. The presentation stems from – and will draw on – a strong understanding of the wider literature, inclusive of that around transnormativity (Riggs et al., 2019), cisgenderism (Ansara, 2012, 2015; Blumer et al., 2013; Tan et al., 2021b), and the history and ethico-legal determinants leading to eventual depathologisation and why this is an ongoing process (Hidalgo et al., 2013; Kara, 2017; Schulz, 2017). My presentation also draws on my experiences as a TGD individual who transitioned in late adolescence, my work in TGD advocacy and activism and how these experiences have informed my own clinical work, as well as the published evidence around clinical education initiatives in this area (Blakey A and Treharne, 2019; Taylor et al., 2018; Treharne et al., 2021).

A unique characteristic of the WNSW team compared to metropolitan teams: it is a virtual service. The purpose of virtual service is to improve access to specialists for PwID living in rural and remote areas.
Although there is a growing body of literature evaluating virtual models of care, there is a deficit in its application to assessment and care of PwID in rural and remote areas.

THE ‘4 Ds’: ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN HEART AND LUNG TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
K Wilhelm, E Maher, C Brady, P MacDonald and M Malouf
St Vincent’s Health Australia, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Consultation–liaison psychiatry’s role throughout the transplant journey from assessment to post-transplant management. This has grown in importance as the range of potential recipients has grown to include people who are older, and with more evidence of the ‘4 Ds’ (depression, disordered personality, delirium, decline in cognitive function).
Several innovations to the assessment process have improved outcomes in predicting delirium, survival, and intensive care unit (ICU)/hospital stays. First, addition of frailty assessment and the effects of adding depression and cognitive capacity to the standard frailty score. While depression improves post-transplantation, cognitive function tends not to. Similarly, patients with high scores on the Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplant (SIPAT) are at increased risk of adverse outcomes (delirium, poor post-transplant adherence and increased ICU/hospital stays).

Research from comparable professions shows that under stress, the ability to think and act flexibly is impaired. This may lead to moral injury and psychological defensiveness leading to a vicious cycle of negative experiences, interpersonal conflict and burnout. Stress Inoculation Therapy (SIT) contextualises and normalises arousal and emotions under acute stress, and Group analysis (GA) promotes reflective skills to reduce interpersonal conflict and chronic stress. Therapist-led reflective groups combining SIT and GA was offered to two cohorts of JMOs in an open-label prospective trial to evaluate feasibility, acceptability and impact on burnout.

SPECIALIST INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL GRADUATES (SIMGS): IT IS TIME TO VALUE THEIR POTENTIAL. REFLECTIONS FROM VICTORIA
R Lakshmana
Department of Rural Health, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
In 2019, after many years of advocacy from VPTC and Victorian Branch, DoH funded 0.5 FTE Director of Training role to support SIMGs. DoH also funded a pilot exam preparation project that went on to provide interesting insights about this group and helped this cohort achieve better results in summative exams.
This presentation is a summary of reflections and ideas that formed important aspect of Victorian Branch and VPTC’s advocacy to DoH to fund support package for Victorian SIMGs, and hopes similar model can be replicated Binationally. It also provides principles and strong impetus for College to consider how it can integrate and support SIMGs given they contribute significantly to future training of Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) trainees/psychiatrists.

This session will focus on how Victorian Branch and VPTC highlighted the importance of an adequately resourced, funded and staffed psychiatry workforce as key to any meaningful reform of the system. This joint advocacy led to a funding approval of $4.5 million as an immediate investment specifically in psychiatry training.
Engagement with specialist trainees in psychiatry is crucial, not just to have a stable sustainable psychiatry workforce that can achieve the outcomes targeted by the commission, but also for meeting the systematic co-design principles embraced by the Commission.
Trainee involvement cannot be restricted only to engagement with their own specialist education and training programme supervised by the College. There needs to be continuous focus integrated into the programme on educating the leaders of the future in providing advocacy and support at service delivery level and in governance structures. Specific recommendations were made to ensure Trainees had formalised roles to influence system redesign within the Department as well at the Health Service levels which would flow through the various parts of the Victoria’s new Mental Health and Wellbeing System.

Investigator-led clinical consortia have the potential nationally and internationally to promote health equity, set standards for care, promote sharing of knowledge and expertise, and foster the development of a cohesive translational research agenda (Marshall et al., 2009). In doing so, clinical consortia serve an important role in the translation of research findings into policy strategies, and the dissemination of innovative models of care.

Over 2019–2021 the SWBU saw significant numbers of burn injury patients because of several natural disasters and a spike in self-immolation during Sydney’s COVID-19 lockdowns. The traumatic nature of the injuries was challenging for staff to manage over such a prolonged period. Senior team members were aware of the urgent need to (1) increase support for staff to minimise burnout risk and (2) improve access to longer-term psychological treatments for patients after discharge.

Newbery presents a snapshot of the thinking at the end of 18th-century England: expectations on the child to behave are based on vicarious learning. The ‘historical facts’ referred to in the title refer back to classical era themes.
The speaker provides a narrative on his discovery of the antique text, background and insights gained while acquainting himself with this rare book.

HYPNIC HEADACHE: A RARE TYPE OF PRIMARY HEADACHE DISORDER
MS Inam
Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College and Hospital, Sylhet, Bangladesh
Hypnic headache, first described by NH Raskin (Raskin, 1988). It is a rare type of primary headache that occurs only at night during sleep. HHS affects people older than 50 years (Evers and Goadsby, 2003; Stefan and Peter, 2005). Hypnic headache usually starts 3–4 hours after sleep onset. As a result, the patient starts to wake up (Headache Classification Subcommittee of the International Headache Society [IHS], 2018). Because of the tendency to occur at the same time each night, hypnic has been called the ‘alarm clock’ headache (Newman et al., 1990). Hypnic headache is included in the International Headache Society classification (International Classification of Headache Disorders II edition, 2004). The headache is usually unilateral and occurs more than 15 nights per month (International Headache Society Classification ICHD 3-beta, n.d.). It is commonly dull in character and lasts for 15–240 minutes. It does not make the patient restless, unlike cluster headache (International Headache Society Classification ICHD 3-beta, n.d.). After waking up, most patients engage in some activity like eating, drinking, showering and reading (Diener et al., 2012).
Hypnic headache usually not associated with trigeminal autonomic symptoms. A few cases of hypnic headache are available in the literature. According to some studies, bedtime coffee is helpful for HHS. Lithium carbonate, indomethacin and flunarizine have been used to treat the disease.
The patient had no history of early morning or daytime headaches, sleep disorders, snoring or sleep apnoea. He had no history of head trauma, fainting, unconsciousness, weakness, limb paralysis, seizures or non-epileptic seizures. He is a non-smoker and non-alcoholic.
On general examination, his heart rate was 70 beats per minute, his blood pressure was 138/68 mm Hg, and he had an absence of anaemia, jaundice or oedema. Both lung fields were clear, and no abnormality was detected on neurological examination. Serological investigations, complete blood count, fasting blood glucose and lipid profiles were within normal limits. His computed tomography (CT) brain scan was normal with no cerebral atrophy or volume loss compatible with age. The patient had been treated previously by several general practitioners with paracetamol, diclofenac sodium and tramadol hydrochloride. He had used these drugs either singly or in combination; however, there was no significant improvement. The patient is a little scared and depressed regarding his nocturnal headache. At our facility, he was treated with indomethacin (50 mg/day) and flunarizine (10 mg/day) in divided doses and responded well.

An X-ray skull was advised and surprisingly revealed a metallic foreign body (shrapnel) lodged within her skull. Furthermore, her computed tomography (CT) brain scan showed an artefact (shrapnel) at the right frontal lobe together with encephalomalacia of the parietal and frontal lobe creating a huge cyst in the right cerebral hemisphere. The patient and her attendant were unaware of the shrapnel within her brain. She has prescribed risperidone (2 mg/day) and her psychosis was controlled.

BRAIN OR MIND? A CASE REPORT OF FUNCTIONAL CATATONIA
J Ling and Ilchef R
Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Oppositional behaviours prompted closer examination revealing atypical symptoms suggestive of a functional aetiology: variable presentation with clinician/family member presence; volitional mutism, rigidity and posturing; grimacing in response to conversations. Crucially neurological signs (primitive reflexes, autonomic disturbance) were absent. Symptoms improved during tribunal proceedings for proposed electroconvulsive therapy. Subsequent treatment with amisulpride and clomipramine were equivocal, but symptoms improved with psychotherapy. Final diagnosis was a functional catatonia-like syndrome on a background of suspected autism spectrum disorder.

Persons prescribed LAI medication were more likely than controls to have reduced hospital admissions and increased Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores. No difference was seen on emergency department presentations or Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) scores. Extrapyramidal side effects were the most frequent adverse effect; no increase in cardiac toxicity was noted.
The study was limited by insufficient clinical documentation to exhaustively determine outcomes and adverse effects of prescribed medication, especially in relation to electrocardiographic monitoring.

Both authors transitioned from psychiatry in the United Kingdom to Australia. Both were struck by the paucity of reflective groups for doctors, in comparison.
Pre-group survey results suggest that psychiatry registrars consider that while they are able to think psychodynamically, Balint groups may develop self-reflective capacities. Most group members had not had prior experience of Balint groups, in contrast to UK psychiatrists at an equivalent training level. Mid- and post-group survey results suggest that group members have found the Balint group to be a positive experience.
