0.5 EA, 0.5 RP

Advances in acute stroke management, and the key factors involved in ensuring that patients access appropriate treatment in a timely fashion.

Emerging treatments, such as widefield radiation therapy, which can target large areas of both cancer and pre-cancerous lesions.

Expert/s: Dr Ian Porter

The latest evidence on the interplay between these two conditions- outlining a practical approach to their assessment and management.

This mosquito-transmitted disease has already killed a handful of people, and is likely to become more common- an effective vaccine will soon be made widely available to those at risk.

A practical framework for the assessment of patients with painful headache- differentiating migraine from other, perhaps more pathological, diagnoses, an update on the appropriate acute management of migraine as well as new therapies for management of chronic migraine.

Current risks and challenges- what can be done at a primary care level to help reduce the morbidity and mortality from lung infections.

It is common for children with ADHD to struggle with maintaining sufficient food and nutritional intake- how GPs can effectively screen these children for adequate diet and appropriate nutrition.

Key features of pertussis as it appears in adults, when to suspect it, and how to diagnose and treat it- the opportunities that exist to reduce the morbidity and mortality from whooping cough by targeting older adults.

A comprehensive framework for health professionals assessing COPD patients- evidence-based approach to management, how to decide whether inhaled corticosteroids are appropriate and how, when and for how long they should be used.

Most commonly used bariatric-metabolic surgical procedures, their mechanism of action, patient selection, weight loss and health outcomes.

Insight and understanding into how to identify and assess complications of DOACs, and, importantly, how adverse effects of DOACs can be best managed.
