Topics to be covered

Diarrhoea in Kids – When to Worry
Dr Rupert Hinds

The assessment and management of chronic diarrhoea is very different depending on whether the patient is an infant, a young child or an adolescent. In this talk, Dr Rupert Hinds outlines a very practical guide for clinicians to help them when presented with these young patients. He will discuss, not only the red flags that suggest further investigation and referral is necessary but also the common, benign causes of chronic diarrhoea at different ages that can usually be diagnosed and managed on the basis of history and examination alone.

LDL Management Demystified
A/Prof Ron Dick

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the enemy and needs to be managed if we are going to reduce the incidence of Australia's leading cause of death - cardiovascular disease. That's the emphatic message from Associate Professor Ron Dick, who, in this talk will not only give the latest evidence for this claim but will also detail the newest available treatments for high LDL-C. In addition, he'll present the research that supports the effectiveness of these new treatments and how they translate into significantly fewer cardiovascular events.

Tirzepatide for Chronic Weight Management
A/Prof Samantha Hocking

Tirzepatide is the latest incretin-based pharmacotherapy available for people who are living with obesity. In this talk, Associate Professor Samantha Hocking details the important facts and evidence related to this new injectable as well as updating clinicians on the practicalities of using tirzepatide - from prescribing, dosing and delivery devices to cost, availability and long-term effectiveness.

Urticaria Management in Primary Care
A/Prof Alberto Pinzon Charry

One in five Australians will experience urticaria at some stage of their life, commonly in childhood. Mostly it is transient, causing only mild discomfort and resolving completely but sometimes it is more significant. Here, Associate Professor Alberto Pinzon provides an update on the assessment and management of urticaria. He highlights, through case studies, the key factors in the history and examination that help distinguish between acute and chronic, allergic and non-allergenic urticaria as well as presenting the red flags that should alert the clinician that further investigation and referral is needed.
