Topics to be covered

Infant Nutrition Cases
Dr Rupert Hinds

A baby with possible reflux is a common presentation in general practice. And it's a presentation that GPs can usually confidently manage without needing to refer, says paediatric gastroenterologist, Dr Rupert Hinds. In this talk, Dr Hinds will detail what is involved in a practical, comprehensive assessment of these babies, including the red flag symptoms and signs that should not be missed. He will also, importantly, outline the most appropriate management of infantile reflux in both breast-fed and formula-fed babies.

COVID Antivirals Demystified
Dr Angela Molga

These days, a GP consultation about Covid is more likely to involve treating the acute infection than preventing it. Here, clinical pharmacologist Dr Angela Molga outlines the current state of play with Covid antivirals - who needs what and when, as well as addressing some of the myths and misconceptions about their use and effectiveness.

Weight Loss Maintenance
A/Prof Samantha Hocking

Among our overweight and obese patients, weight loss is commonly a major challenge. But as Associate Professor Samantha Hocking will explain, maintaining that weight loss is often just as difficult if not more so. In this presentation, Professor Hocking details why maintaining weight loss is so problematic and, more importantly, what the evidence is showing in terms of the most effective means to ensure those hard-fought wins stay won.

Allergy Testing Explained
Dr Shruti Swamy

Allergy testing can be fraught with false positives as well as false negatives, and can have a significant impact on quality of life if used and interpreted incorrectly. Furthermore, unorthodox and unapproved testing for ‘allergies’ can result in unnecessary avoidances, unnecessary costs, failure to meet nutritional requirements and non-evidence based practices. In this presentation, Dr Shruti Swamy will explain the diagnosis of allergic diseases, including when to test, who to test, and what to test. She will also help identify the appropriate clinical contexts in which to consider testing a patient for allergies, the evidence-based options available, and finally guidance on when and how to refer patients to a specialist.
