An Acne Update for GPs
Dr Philip Tong

Endometriosis Expert Panel - Facilitated by Dr Terri Foran. Expert Panel - Prof Jason Abbott, Dr Jason Chow & Dr Jim Tsaltas
Dr Terri Foran, Prof Jason Abbott, Dr Jason Chow, Dr Jim Tsaltas

This presentation brings together a ‘brains-trust’ in the management of menstrual problems and menstrual pain. Using a specific case study approach, the panel will take you through the management of endometriosis from menarche to menopause. The panel will attempt to provide a practical and evidence-based approach to the management of symptoms but will also bring their own considerable personal experience to the discussion.

Malnutrition in the Community
Louise Murray

Malnutrition screening using simple questions can identify problems early and prevent long term consequences and GP’s play a pivotal role in identifying malnutrition early and referring them to the allied health/ community services they need. Louise will define malnutrition, it’s prevalence and the consequences of malnutrition, and provide useful clinical tips to identify the signs and symptoms of malnutrition. Practical strategies to screen, prevent and treat malnutrition will also be provided.
