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.

Optimising Management of Acute Migraine
Dr Bronwyn Jenkins

Be upskilled in the identification and treatment of this miserable condition Accurately diagnosing migraine from the wide range of possible causes of headache relies largely on the clinical acumen of the treating doctor. In this comprehensive presentation, neurologist Associate Professor Bronwyn Jenkins presents a practical framework for the assessment of patients with painful headache, differentiating migraine from other, perhaps more pathological, diagnoses. She will also provide an update on the appropriate acute management of migraine as well as new therapies for management of chronic migraine.

Heart Failure in General Practice
A/Prof Piyush Srivastava

Heart failure management has undergone a revolution over the past several years. The emergence of new and much more effective drugs is great news for patients but has certainly become very complex for GPs to manage. Piyush will explain and update us on best practice heart failure diagnosis and management, demystify the pharmacotherapy landscape as well as provide practical advice for GPs.

Carrier Screening & Medicare Rebate
Dr Rashi Kalra

As of November 1, new Medicare rebates are available for "essential carrier screening tests"- Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Fragile X-for women planning pregnancy, who are already pregnant and their partners. However other tests may also be required based on the patient's specific needs and risk profile. Dr Kalra will explain the benefits of these tests, their application, who they are most relevant to, whether or not extra tests might be needed and how best to explain them to your patients.

The Current COVID Wave
Prof Adrian Esterman

In this lecture, Prof Adrian Esterman will explain the new COVID wave, and the current situation in general especially the dire situation in aged care homes. He will discuss the new XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccine, and the latest evidence for the two main antivirals. It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain COVID statistics, with only three jurisdictions now providing weekly data, and even then, SA only provides monthly mortality data. The other states and territories refer you to the Commonwealth Department of Health’s COVID webpage, which is leaves a lot to be desired. Finally, Prof Esterman will look at new research on long COVID.

Triple Therapy for Severe Asthma – More Than the Sum of its Parts
Dr John Brannan

Triple therapy is the buzzword in asthma therapy of late. But why is triple therapy particularly effective and in whom? In this presentation, respiratory expert, Dr John Brannan will give a practice-focused precis on the evidence for this therapy, the target population, and when and how it should be initiated. He will also outline why triple therapy is becoming so important in present-day asthma management, as well how best to titrate and monitor its effectiveness in the primary care setting.
