Allergic diseases are a growing health challenge in Australia, affecting about 20% of the population. Conditions like allergic rhinitis and asthma are prevalent, with food allergies also a concern, especially among children. Serum allergen-specific IgE testing (RAST) is a crucial tool for GPs in diagnosing allergies, helping them identify specific allergens for targeted advice on management. However, GPs need to understand the test's limitations and integrate its results into a broader clinical context for optimal patient care.

This module will describe how to identify and respond to child abuse and neglect presentations in the general practice and other primary care settings.Child abuse is common and most often perpetrated by someone within the family, or by a person known to the child.Children less than one year of age are particularly vulnerable especially to physical abuse and poor attachment to parents.Child abuse is a major health issue causing immediate problems and often long-term serious health problems that continue into adult life.Health practitioners play a crucial role in providing support to families affected by adverse circumstances through offering ongoing supportive and trauma-informed care and linking to services as required.All health practitioners need to be aware of their legal obligations under state or territory mandatory reporting requirements when they suspect child abuse. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;

This learning module consists of approximately 2 hours of online active learning and self-assessment focused on how general practitioners (GPs) and PNs and other primary care providers can operate under the Victorian Government's information sharing schemes for providers in contact with people experiencing or using family violence. This includes the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS) and the Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS) which are underpinned by the Multi Agency Risk assessment and Management Framework (MARAM). We outline what the Information Sharing Schemes and MARAM aim to achieve and how you can use them to work across the services system to consistently and sensitively identify and respond to family violence and manage risk. This includes what to do when a patient discloses to enable a best practice response and referral. Incorporating examples of real case studies and role plays, and reflective questions, we have aimed to make this course as interactive as possible. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;
