Paediatric Growth Disorders – What GPs Need to Know
A/Prof Gary Leong

Growth disorders in children are not common but should never be missed, as without early intervention, changes can be irreversible. Key to managing growth disorders in children is early diagnosis and intervention. And who is most likely to be able to do this - the child's GP, of course. But growth disorders are not common and we know there is a wide range of normal when it comes to growth. In this talk, paediatric endocrinologist, Associate Professor Gary Leong will outline the steps that GPs need to take to ensure these young patients get identified and treated early. In his words, he plans to demonstrate 'how to make your life as a general practitioner easy' when it comes to managing growth disorders in primary care.

Shingles Vaccination in the Immunocompromised - Which Option for Which Patient?
Prof Tony Cunningham AO

Which immunocompromised patients should be given the recombinant (Shingrix) vs the inactivated (Zostavax)? Prof Cunningham describes how immunocompromised patients fit into one of three basic categories. Each of these categories warrants a different degree of caution, and each warrants a different approach to vaccination choice.
