Eye Health CPD for GPs:
Macular Disease Foundation Australia (MDFA) has launched two free CPD courses to help General Practitioners reduce the incidence and impact of macular disease – Australia’s leading cause of severe vision loss and blindness.
Funded by the Federal Government and developed by a consortium of partners, including RANZCO with support from RACGP, ACRRM and world-renowned retinal specialists, each course is a CPD activity under the RACGP CPD Program and has been approved for three CPD points.
Available through the MDFA website, the courses cover age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease each accredited for three CPD points.
Eye Health CPD for GPs:
• Increase your knowledge of macular disease to enable early diagnosis and interventions
• Improve communication with patients about managing modifiable risk, including regular eye exams
• Adopt up-to-date, evidence-based best practice
• Understand how to link patients with supports and services
