Topics to be covered

COPD Cases
A/Prof Natasha Smallwood

COPD is a deadly disease. Evidence shows 50% of people with COPD will die within four years of their first hospitalisation with this condition. Associate Professor Natasha Smallwood, in this talk will present a number of cases that demonstrate what can be done to improve this situation. She will outline how COPD treatment can be optimised to prevent exacerbations and slow progression of the disease, in particular where, when and how triple therapy should be used and where it is not appropriate.

Management of Mild to Moderate Acne
Dr Jo-Ann See

Acne remains a common challenge for Australian teenagers and young adults, and more often than not the GP is the person who is expected to have all the answers to managing it. New guidelines have recently been launched on the latest evidence-based management of mild to moderate acne. In this presentation, Dr JoAnn See will explain how these new guidelines work in the clinical setting. She will provide a clear and practical outline of the assessment and step-wise treatment approach to treating acne, including both topical, oral, over-the-counter and prescription therapies.

Dementia – Which Test do I Use?
Dr Marita Long

Dementia is more than just a memory problem, it is a leading cause of death and disability among older Australians. While there is currently no curative treatment, a more timely diagnosis of dementia can allow for interventions that may slow disability and improve quality of life for those affected with this chronic disease. There are many barriers to making the diagnosis of dementia in primary care, including the lack of a single definitive diagnostic test . In this talk, Dr Marita Long will outline a more structured diagnostic process that may improve GPs confidence in diagnosing dementia.

Irregular Periods in Adolescents – It's Not Always PCOS
Prof Sonia Grover

Among adolescent girls, periods are often problematic be they too heavy, too frequent, too painful, or too few. In this talk, Professor Sonia Grover looks at the young woman presenting with irregular periods and how she might be best assessed, investigated and managed. She will particularly focus on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and its prevalence and relevance in this age group, answering the important question 'should we be diagnosing PCOS in adolescents?

What is your view on changing the model of delivery for the doctors' health support service in your state or territory?

It should only change if there's clear evidence that a new model is better

It should remain independent and locally governed

It should be replaced with an untested national model
