Topics to be covered

Therapeutic Options for Patients with Skin Field Cancerisation
Dr Ian Porter

Keratinocyte Cancer is more common than all other forms of cancer, combined. Australia is particularly vulnerable and has the highest rate in the world. Extensive sun exposure and increasing age are the primary risk factors. Patients also tend to develop multiple lesions, which can be particularly burdensome. Emerging treatments, such as widefield radiation therapy, can target large areas of both cancer and pre-cancerous lesions with the goal of reducing the need for frequent interventions. This option holds promise for patients with severe disease who have exhausted other therapeutic options.

COVID Update
Prof Nancy Baxter

Hear what's new in the ever-changing COVID landscape from one of Australia's leading experts. Make sure you are up-to-date on the latest information on the COVID pandemic. Prof Nancy Baxter will present the latest developments in terms of the illness and its prevention including information on boosters, the schools program and what is new in terms of COVID-19 treatment.

Stroke Prevention and Management Update
Prof Bruce Campbell

Acute stroke management has improved dramatically over recent years, but reducing long-term disability from this condition still relies firstly on prevention but also time to treatment. Treatment of acute stroke has been one of medicine's greatest success stories over the last couple of decades. Between dissolving the clot or physically retrieving the thrombus, hundreds of patients with an ischaemic stroke are now being saved from years of disability - but still, time is of the essence. In this talk, neurologist Prof Bruce Campbell outlines the advances in acute stroke management, and the key factors involved in ensuring that patients access appropriate treatment in a timely fashion. In addition, Prof Campbell will give an update on best practice for stroke prevention including blood pressure targets, AF screening and, very importantly, the investigation and management of TIAs.

Strategies to Mitigate Cognitive Decline and Early Dementia
A/Prof Michael Woodward AM

Mild cognitive impairment is not just a natural consequence of ageing. According to A/Prof Michael Woodward, mild cognitive impairment is a critical diagnosis to make, not just because it can be a precursor to Alzheimer's disease but because it can represent an opportunity for intervention which can, at the very least slow the older person's progression to dementia and may, in some cases even prevent it. Mild cognitive impairment needs to be recognised and accurately assessed so the opportunity to intervene and prevent progression to dementia is not lost.
