Topics to be covered

Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus
Prof Peter McCluskey AO

Herpes zoster affecting the eye not only causes severe pain, but can be associated with significant long-term sequelae. And this particular form of shingles is still occurring frequently despite the zoster vaccine. Here, Prof Peter McCluskey AO will provide an overview of the incidence and prevalence of this condition and its possible consequences, as well as giving an update on what's new in terms of understanding, management and prevention of Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus. 

COVID Update – The Delta Variant, Pfizer Myocarditis, Hesitancy Strategies and Other Developments
A/Prof Nicholas Wood

Recent outbreaks and clusters in Australia are primarily due to the Delta variant. A/Prof Wood will provide a detailed practical understanding of this variant as well as the “Delta Plus” and other variants of concern that may end up in Australia. As we pivot toward the Pfizer vaccine, we may start to see cases of myocarditis. It is essential for everyone working in primary care to get up to speed on this. In addition, A/Prof Wood will explore strategies to improve vaccine uptake and overcome vaccine anxiety and hesitancy, provide an update on clots, and cover any other important developments with significant implications for primary care and the broader community.

Medical Management of Endometriosis – Practical Advice for Primary Care
Prof Louise Hull

Endometriosis can be a challenging condition - not only for the affected woman but also for the primary care clinician trying to treat it. In this talk, A/Prof Louise Hull will present a practical and evidence-based approach to the management of endometriosis from menarche to menopause, in addition to providing valuable insights based on her own considerable personal experience.

Meningitis Prevention
Prof Helen Marshall

There aren't many diseases that cause as much fear among both the general public and medical practitioners as meningitis. With good reason. Few illnesses can cause such devastation in such a short time frame. Fortunately, vaccines are reducing the incidence of meningitis. In this presentation, Prof Helen Marshall will outline the current state of play in terms of which meningitis vaccines are available, what's on the free list and what's not, and how we can promote optimal protection.
