Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive, degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion in the knee. It is the most common form of arthritis, affecting about 22% in individuals aged 45 and over. The condition can progress over time and lead to disability, however there are treatments available to help manage the symptoms and improve function. This education provides the GP with a understanding of how minimally invasive vascular embolization (MIVE) can be a treatment modality to offer instead of, or alongside, more traditional therapies such as pharmacotherapy, physical therapy modalities, intraarticular injections and surgical approaches. In the context of knee OA, MIVE is used to block blood flow to the genicular arteries, which supply blood to the synovial lining of the knee joint, which is often painfully inflamed in knee OA. This can help to reduce inflammation and pain in the knee.This educational activity will explore what MIVE is, how is is performed, its effects for the patient with knee OA and how to access this novel modality.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects men as they age. It is the most common urological condition in men over 50, with up to 80% of men experiencing symptoms by the age of 80. In Australia, around 1 in 5 men aged 50 and over have been diagnosed with BPH. The most common symptoms of BPH are difficulty urinating, a weak urine stream, and frequent urination, especially at night. There is no cure for BPH, but there are treatments available to help manage the symptoms. Minimally invasive techniques are used to treat BPH when medications are not effective or when the patient prefers a less invasive option, yet awareness of these options in low in general practitioners.The education provides the GP with the required knowledge concerning when to consider minimally invasive treatment options, what these options are and how to access them. By increasing GP awareness of these treatment options, patients with BPH will have greater choice in how they wish to manage their condition.

In this on-demand webinar we explore the new era in opioid dependence treatment and unpack the implications of these transformative changes, highlighting how they democratise access to treatments, including Long-Acting Injectable Buprenorphine (LAIB). While LAIBs play a critical role, they are part of a broader treatment landscape. Our discussion therefore not only focuses on medication options but also underlines the importance of holistic care, encompassing individual, family and community perspectives. This CPD activity will give prescribers the knowledge and tools to navigate these changes, driving improved patient outcomes and challenging long-standing inequities in care.
