While past efforts have primarily focused on childhood immunisation, research shows that millions of older Australian adults are under-vaccinated against the recommended vaccines. This, alongside age-related decline in immunity, leads to preventable disease burden for common vaccine-preventable diseases (including influenza, herpes zoster, pertussis and pneumococcal disease). Recommendation from a health professional was shown to be the most important factor influencing the decision to immunise. GPs are key health professionals responsible to identify and create opportunities to encourage vaccination in older adults.

Blood gas testing (on an arterial sample) has been used in emergency medicine as part of the assessment of patients with severe respiratory disease andamp; patients suspected to have an acid base disorder such as diabetic ketoacidosis and acute poisoning. With access to bedside blood testing (commonly on venous samples), with iStat andamp; EPOC machines, abnormal blood gas results are now commonly encountered in routine clinical practice, requiring a greater degree of expertise with the interpretation of blood gases andamp; recognition of acid base disorders. This trend will continue as bedside blood gas testing becomes more widespread in a variety of healthcare settings.
