Topics to be covered

Asthma Cases – When to Use Dual vs Triple Therapy
Clinical A/Prof Greg Katsoulotos

So where exactly does triple therapy fit into the management of asthma? That is the question Associate Professor Greg Katsoulotos will answer in this very practical update on all things asthma. In addition, he will address the recommended approach to the patient who presents with symptoms despite being on treatment - from revisiting the diagnosis, to when and how treatment should be 'stepped-up', including the use of triple therapy.

Cervical Cancer Screening 2025
Prof Deborah Bateson

Important updates to the National Cervical Screening Program Clinical Guidelines are set to come into practice from this April. Here, Professor Deborah Bateson will highlight the key changes that are relevant to general practice including the changes to the screening for women with immune deficiencies, post-treatment surveillance of women with a HSIL and recommendations for screening of women following hysterectomy. Using case studies, Professor Bateson will demonstrate how these latest updates will change clinical practice.

New Approach to Diabetes and CVD - Navigating Expanded PBS Access to SGLT2s
A/Prof Ralph Audehm

Learn how changes in the PBS criteria for dapagliflozin enhances our ability to manage our patients better and more proactively. SGLT2 inhibitors appear to be our latest wonder drugs, having been shown to have multiple benefits for multiple diseases. But prescribing can be tricky as each indication has its own PBS authority! In this talk, A/Prof Ralph Audehm will explain the different listings and why it is important to choose the correct indication when prescribing this very effective class of drugs.

LDL Management – Why it is Important
A/Prof Karam Kostner

Lowering levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the key to reducing the incidence of Australia's leading cause of death - cardiovascular disease. So says Associate Professor Karam Kostner who, in this talk will not only present the latest evidence for this claim but will also detail the newest available treatments for high LDL-C and how they can and should be incorporated into clinical practice to optimise patient health outcomes.
