Topics to be covered

RSV - Past, Present and Future
Prof Peter Richmond

Respiratory Syncytial Virus is responsible for thousands of young Australian children being hospitalised every year. Paediatrician, Professor Peter Richmond will, in this talk, detail the extent of the burden of disease caused by this virus not only in young children but also in older patients. Importantly, he will also discuss where we are at in terms of preventing RSV including maternal vaccines and monoclonal antibodies for infants which are expected in the near future.

COVID Update
Prof Paul Griffin

As every practising GP in Australia will know, the COVID epidemic is far from over. Don't miss the opportunity to update your COVID knowledge.

Travel Medicine in the Post-COVID Era
Dr Bernard Hudson

Travel advice is often an underestimated aspect of general practice but can drastically improve health outcomes if done right Dr Bernie Hudson, an infectious diseases and travel medicine specialist will in this talk, focus on developing a tailored pre-travel vaccination and advice plan for potential travellers as well as preventative strategies and self-treatment options for travel related illness. He will examine the current evidence behind self-management and prophylaxis of various diseases while overseas including traveller’s diarrhoea which often happens to be the most prevalent.

Oral Contraceptive Pills – Common Questions Answered
Dr Terri Foran

Managing women on hormonal contraception, especially the oral contraceptive pill, is part and parcel of daily practice for most GPs. But even the most experienced clinicians will come up against challenges with this common treatment. In this panel discussion, leading sexual health physician, Dr Terri Foran will present some questions about the Pill to some Australian experts who will then give their opinion, recommendations and advice. The questions have been sent in by you - our GP audience - so the answers will, no doubt, be as relevant as they will be interesting and informative.
