Anita Fletcher talks with Addiction Medicine Specialist Dr Ferghal Armstrong.

Today I chat with Ferghal Armstrong, one of the team at Turning Point at Box Hill, Victoria about how he came to practice addiction medicine and why he creates online educational materials for doctors.

Ferghal combines his interests in addiction and lifestyle medicine to provide training on the Meducate platform.

In this interview, Ferghal shares with us some of his insights into the stigma around addiction, how services can better help patients who present for treatment and the key role that resilience and human connection play in improving outcomes for patients and their loved ones.  

This is not a paid promotion video. We invited Ferghal because we consider these important topics.
