Using the free Comprehensive Health Assessment Program (CHAP) 2023 release

A workshop to assist workers supporting people with developmental disability to receive thorough annual health assessments in partnership with health practitioners. Professor Nick Lennox has provided physical and mental healthcare to adults with developmental disability over a 28-year period in Melbourne and Brisbane.

He has also lead innovations in education and applied research, including appointment as the Director of the Queensland Centre for Intellectual & Developmental Disability (QCIDD), at the University of Queensland. This included three complex randomised controlled trials of the Comprehensive Health Assessment Program (CHAP).

Professor Lennox brings to this workshop his clinical expertise and passion for improving the health and health care of people with developmental disability.
