Healthed webcasts are a valuable educational platform, allowing viewers to gain up-to-date clinical knowledge through an easy, time-efficient format.

Topics to be covered

Herpes Zoster Immunisation Update
Prof Paul Griffin

Vaccinating older adults is vital if we want to improve people's quality of life as well as their longevity. Infectious diseases such as the flu and RSV, as well as the reactivated viral infection, herpes zoster are associated with significant morbidity in older people and are all vaccine preventable. In this talk, Associate Professor Paul Griffin focuses on herpes zoster immunisation, its effectiveness and limitations, and the challenges associated with getting this older population, now eligible for the vaccine, optimally protected.

MCI, Bio Markers and Medications
Dr Stephanie Daly, Dr Rebecca Moore

New medications for Alzheimer's disease have meant clinicians now, more than ever, need to identify and diagnose patients early in the disease process, when the medications are more likely to be effective. In this talk, GPs, Dr Steph Daly and Dr Rebecca Moore will discuss the importance of identifying and assessing mild cognitive impairment, and how best to determine which patients are most at risk of proceeding to Alzheimer's disease. In addition they will address the role of blood biomarkers in this assessment as well as the eligibility criteria for these new medications.

Ischemic Heart Disease Imaging – Which Option for Who & When
A/Prof Stephan Foy

Assessing a patient's 'heart health' is very much the remit of the modern-day GP. And taking a cardiac history, checking for cardiac risk factors and calculating absolute cardiovascular risk is pretty straightforward. But what then? When are further investigations appropriate? And which tests, of the many now available, should be done for whom? In this talk, cardiologist Associate Professor Stephan Foy will answer all these questions and provide a practical framework for investigating these patients as they present in general practice.

Thunderstorm Asthma
Dr Celia Zubrinich

Spring is the season for allergy in Australia and unfortunately it is also the time of greatest risk for thunderstorm asthma. In this talk, Dr Celia Zubrinich will cover the underlying mechanism of thunderstorm asthma, the extent of the problem, who is at risk and, importantly, the practical ways in which patients can plan ahead and minimise this risk.
