Topics to be covered

The New Zoster Vaccine – More Effective Conversations & Practice Systems
Dr Lisa Beecham

A new herpes zoster vaccine is now available in Australia. In this presentation, Dr Lisa Beecham will explain the key differences between this new vaccine against shingles and what is currently available, and who might be best to be offered this option. She will also present the key reasons why patients might be convinced to pay for this otherwise unfunded vaccine.

COVID Update

The Delta variant is proving to be a game-changer in the fight against COVID-19. Its high and seemingly indiscriminate infectivity has seen a huge surge in people requesting vaccination against the virus, particularly with the Pfizer vaccine. GPs are at the frontline, they are a major part of the solution. More than ever, GPs need to be across the latest in all aspects of COVID-19 and the vaccines available to combat this pandemic. In this webcast, Healthed will deliver answers from Australian experts on the important issues GPs need to know in order to stay up to speed in the war against this deadly and ubiquitous virus.

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 Associate Professor 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.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides in Infant Formula – Practical Implications of this New Development 
A/Prof Avi Lemberg

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are one of the major differences between human milk and formula milk. Current evidence demonstrates their multiple beneficial effects including antimicrobial, immune modulation, prebiotic, neurodevelopment and cognition effects. Recently, manufactured HMOs have been approved as food ingredients with fascinating implications for infant formula. This lecture will explore the potential of HMOs to make infant formula a more beneficial alternative when human breast milk is inadequate or unavailable.
