Topics to be covered

COVID Update
A/Prof Nicholas Wood

Hear what's new in the ever-changing COVID landscape from one of Australia's leading experts.Monkeypox cases have been confirmed in Australia. The situation is still evolving! This disease is new to this country and Associate Director, NCIRS, A/Prof Nicholas Wood will provide an overview of the clinical features, modes of transmission, management and prevention strategies for primary care as well as the latest information on the COVID pandemic.

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding - Management in General Practice
Dr Yasmin Tan

Heavy menstrual bleeding is very common among women of child-bearing age, and often represents a significant burden to an affected woman's quality of life. Key to effective management is a comprehensive assessment to ensure, not only an accurate diagnosis of the cause of the bleeding, but also to determine the most appropriate treatment options for that individual woman. In this webcast, gynaecologist Dr Yasmin Tan presents a systematic, practical approach to managing the woman presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding. From asking the diagnosis-defining details in the history, to being able to explain the range of medical and surgical options currently available to treat this condition.

Reprioritising Blood Pressure Control in Primary Care: A Call to Action
Prof Alta Schutte

Data suggests that we are dropping the ball when it comes to controlling high blood pressure, and patients are at risk. Almost 30,000 deaths a day worldwide can be attributed to high systolic blood pressure. And despite effective medications being available, Professor Alta Schutte, immediate past president of the International Society for Hypertension, suggests over half of all people with hypertension remain inadequately treated. What is worse, she says, this proportion is growing. In her talk, Professor Schutte will present the argument for why we need to reprioritise blood pressure control, the challenges we face in reducing the proportion of patients with uncontrolled hypertension and some solutions that have been shown to be effective in the primary care setting.

The Role of ICS in COPD
Prof Christine Jenkins

Prescribing inhaled corticosteroids in COPD has been a grey area for many clinicians in the past. There have been concerns about the overuse of these steroid therapies making patients vulnerable to infections and side effects, while their underuse might leave them at risk of exacerbations of their underlying airways disease. In this talk, well-known respiratory expert, Prof Christine Jenkins presents a comprehensive framework for health professionals assessing COPD patients and outlines an evidence-based approach to management that includes how to step-up treatment when needed, which may include inhaled corticosteroids.
