Topics to be covered

Trauma-Informed Care in GP
Dr Johanna Lynch

Research shows, many general practice patients have experienced trauma when they were young, and this experience is impacting their current and future health. In this talk, Dr Johanna Lynch discusses what is defined as trauma, the prevalence and significance of this trauma and the degree to which it has been shown to affect long-term health. Importantly, she will also present the principles of management of these patients in general practice to mitigate the ongoing health risks associated with past trauma.

Migraine Management Update
Clinical A/Prof Lauren Sanders

It is estimated that almost five million Australians suffer migraines. Most of them women and most of them working age. While there remains no cure for migraines, there are now effective, disease-specific treatments. In this talk, Associate Professor Lauren Sanders will outline a practical approach to the acute and preventative management of migraine, including an overview of the latest migraine specific treatments.

Prevention and Management of Diabetic Retinopathy
Prof Richard O'Brien

Dibetic retinopathy is a common but often very manageable complication of diabetes, provided it is detected early. More than 60% of people with type 2 diabetes will develop diabetic retinopathy, says endocrinologist Associate Professor Richard O'Brien. And yet up to half of these diabetic patients are not getting eye checks as frequently as the guidelines recommend. In this presentation, Professor O'Brien will highlight the key features of this condition and what can and should be done at the primary care level to prevent retinopathy complications including blindness.

PSA Testing Demystified
A/Prof Jeremy Grummet

Recent game-changing advances in imaging have resulted in a major mitigation of the risk associated with PSA testing. Using case studies, Associate Professor Jeremy Grummet will demonstrate the many different aspects of PSA testing, including its role in screening asymptomatic men, in patients under active surveillance and in patients post-treatment. He will also discuss the latest standards of diagnostic work-up of men suspected of having prostate cancer.
