Topics to be covered

Management of Mild to Moderate Asthma – What’s Changed? What’s Stayed the Same?
Prof Greg King

The guidelines for asthma management have changed. Some management strategies must change however others should not. Greg will walk through the various clinical scenarios to clearly explain in which scenarios management should change and those in which it should not.

Anaphylaxis in Infants and Young Children
A/Prof Richard Loh

Richard will give a very practical review of the clinical signs and symptoms of different types of allergic reactions followed by helpful real-world tips on immediate management of anaphylaxis including: adrenaline administration, dosages and the use of adrenaline autoinjectors as well as discuss additional measures like the use of antihistamines, steroids, infusions and fluids. The emphasis of the talk will be on appropriate identification of anaphylaxis and its treatment.

Paracetamol Dosing in Children – An Update
Dr Rose Cairns

Paracetamol is one of the most frequently recommended medications and yet dosage is often incorrectly calculated by both carers and health professionals. Rose will describe how current understandings of paracetamol absorption and metabolism mean that dosage should be by weight. She will unpack common issues that lead to increased risk of under and over dosing.

Flu Vaccination Update
A/Prof John Litt AM

Flu vaccination is one of the most common immunisations we give. Hesitancy about flu vaccination is depriving many of the benefits, especially in those under 65. John will also describe potentially major developments in flu vaccine technology due to arrive in Australia in the next few months.
