Topics to be covered

Iron Deficiency and Chronic Disease
A/Prof David Colquhoun

How common is iron deficiency in people with chronic disease and is treating it worthwhile? These are just two of the many questions about this tricky condition that will be answered by cardiologist, A/Prof David Colquhoun. In addition, the talk will cover the very practical considerations of which chronic diseases are most at risk of affecting iron stores and how iron deficiency associated with chronic disease is best managed in the primary care setting.

COVID Update
Prof Nigel Crawford

The Moderna mRNA vaccine is about to arrive in Australia. A/Prof Crawford will cover the practicalities of this new arrival - how it will be used in the clinic, who will be eligible and how it will fit into the overall vaccination program. Vaccination of year 12 students has commenced and the question of vaccinating 12-15yo children as well is being strongly considered. A/Prof Crawford will explain the current available data concerning safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccines for these groups and will also provide an update on the Delta variant. Can vaccinated people still transmit the virus? We will walk through the current evidence regarding this.

An Acne Update for GPs
Dr Ryan De Cruz

Melbourne dermatologist, Dr Ryan De Cruz presents what's new in the understanding, assessment and treatment of acne, the very common and depressing skin condition not only of adolescents but also of young adults. In addition, Dr de Cruz will outline the latest evidence-based recommendations for prescription treatment and treatment combinations, will suggest effective adjunctive skincare and give practical indicators for when specialist referral is warranted.

Depression and Menopause
Prof Jayashri Kulkarni

Depression is one of the most common symptoms of menopause. In this presentation, psychiatrist, Prof Jayashri Kulkarni outlines a systematic approach to the assessment, investigation and treatment of the middle-aged woman presenting with depression. She will also include information about the natural history of mental illness at this time of life and how GPs can determine what treatment should take priority.

Cardio-Oncology: What GPS Need to Know
Dr Daniel Cehic

Oncology patients and their treating specialist tend to focus on overcoming the relevant cancer, understandably. But, as survival rates improve, attention must be paid to the cardiac health of these patients, cardiologist, Dr Daniel Cehic says. Cancer survivors are at increased risk of cardiac disease compared with the rest of the population and to make a difference, GPs need to take a pro-active approach to the prevention, early detection and treatment of CVD in patients being treated for cancer.
