Topics to be covered

Inflammatory Bowel Disease - What GPs Need to Know
A/Prof Susan Connor

Inflammatory Bowel Disease is an important medical condition in which the GP is closely involved in ongoing management. Susan will give an update on therapy, the increasing recognition of the role of the microbiome and the role of the GP. She will describe important red flags and provide some useful practice tips.

Preconception, Pregnancy and Postnatal Iron Deficiency – Why Earlier Detection and Management is Important
Dr Renee Eslick

The recommended daily intake for iron in pregnancy is 27mg. Routine oral iron supplementation is not recommended in pregnancy. Intravenous iron improves haematological parameters compared with oral iron; but the evidence of other maternal or neonatal benefits is less certain. Optimisation of iron stores is particularly important for women with an increased risk of blood loss, or those unable to be transfused.

A Practical Update on Cow's Milk Protein Allergy
Dr Jeremy Rajanayagam

Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMA) is a common problem that can have serious impacts if not managed effectively. Jeremy will describe the difference between IgE, Non-IgE CMA and intolerance and detail strategies for GP management of non-IgE CMA. The mediating role of the microbiome and potential of probiotics will also be covered.

Meal Replacements and Diet Drinks in Type 2 Diabetes
Prof John Dixon

Weight loss is the most effective therapy for those with Type 2 Diabetes, understand how to combine very low calorie diets with pharmacotherapy to achieve weight loss and  optimize sustained weight loss.

Why Unfunded Vaccines are Important
Dr Lisa Beecham

Just because a vaccine is not funded by the Govt doesn’t mean it’s not clinically valuable. Lisa will explain first, how to effectively communicate  to patients that unfunded vaccines represent a worthwhile investment in health and second, how to create effective practice systems to improve vaccine uptake.
