Topics to be covered

Infant and Specialty Formula – What’s in Them and Why
Dr Janet Green

Breast is best, but what if that's not possible? Here, Janet Green presents what it is that is so special about breast milk and what needs to be considered when an alternative nutritional source for an infant needs to be found. In addition she outlines the differences between the various infant formulas currently available, including the role for more specialised formulas.

The Mpox Emergency – What You Need to Know
Prof Jason Ong

While not yet occurring in epidemic numbers here in Australia, the highly infectious, STI-like Mpox disease has been declared a public health emergency of international concern. So far this year, there have been over 300 cases diagnosed. This talk by Dr Jason Ong is both timely and valuable in terms of upskilling clinicians in suspecting, identifying, treating and preventing transmission of this new notifiable infectious disease.

Oral vs Transdermal MHT – Which Option for Who?
Prof Rodney Baber AM

Oral menopausal hormone therapy versus transdermal hormone therapy? How do they compare? Why would you prescribe one form over the other? And for whom? In this very practical talk, Professor Rod Baber will answer all these questions and provide an update on the latest recommendations in this area of menopause management.

ADHD in Children – Practical Advice and Update for GPs
Dr Christopher Soo

ADHD is not a benign disease. As GP, Dr Chris Soo will explain, ADHD can cause significant morbidity, reduced quality of life and even premature mortality if not detected early and effectively treated. Dr Soo, who himself has ADHD, will also detail the most common presenting signs and symptoms that would make the clinician suspect the diagnosis and he outlines what can be done in the primary care setting to expedite the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of these children.
