Webcasts / Healthed Webcast – 16th April 2024
Healthed webcasts are a valuable educational platform, allowing viewers to gain up-to-date clinical knowledge through an easy, time-efficient format. Our free online seminars fill a huge unmet need amongst GPs outside of the major cities for quality, accessible education. Each webcast features four lectures and runs for two hours. While the majority of viewers are GPs, our webcasts are relevant for healthcare professionals including pharmacists and nurses.
These are activities that expand general practice knowledge, skills and attitudes, related to your scope of practice.
These are activities that require reflection on feedback about your work.

The role of LAMAs in COPD is now well-recognised and well-defined, but what about in asthma? In this talk, GP, Dr Kerry Hancock gives a very practical, case-based explanation of where LAMAs fit into a patient's asthma management, where they are most appropriate and effective, and why they are so important to prevent the overuse of oral corticosteroids.
Diabetic retinopathy is a common but often very manageable complication of diabetes, provided it is detected early. More than 60% of people with type 2 diabetes will develop diabetic retinopathy, says endocrinologist Associate Professor Richard O'Brien. And yet up to half of these diabetic patients are not getting eye checks as frequently as the guidelines recommend. In this presentation, Professor O'Brien will highlight the key features of this condition and what can and should be done at the primary care level to prevent retinopathy complications including blindness.
Vaccinating adults against infectious diseases is vital if we want to improve people's healthspan as well as their lifespan. Diseases such as the flu, RSV, pertussis and pneumococcal disease are associated with significant morbidity in older people and are all vaccine preventable. In this talk, Associate Professor Michael Woodward AM outlines the need for preventing these diseases as well as the effectiveness and limitations of the currently available vaccines, and the challenges associated with getting this population optimally protected.
This presentation explores the various symptoms associated with fibroids, such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and reproductive issues, alongside the latest diagnostic techniques and treatment options, ranging from medication to surgical interventions. Additionally, it emphasises the importance of individualised treatment plans, considers factors such as the patient's symptoms, and the desire for future fertility.
