Breast cancer prevention is dependent upon early detection however screening and surveillance should be based upon each woman’s estimated risk. This course categorises breast cancer-associated risk factors according to potency and mutability and includes validated tools with which a risk assessment can be undertaken. The course discusses risk-appropriate screening strategies. Discovering a new breast symptom can be extremely worrisome and although most are benign, more than half of breast cancers are diagnosed this way. The course outlines the highly effective triple test approach which allows practitioners to evaluate a new breast symptom, malignancy risk and reassure or refer women, as necessary. The course addresses the clinical presentation a variety of breast changes including mastalgia and breast cancers. For each condition, there is an examination of the relevant investigations, management approaches and surveillance.

This women's health course discusses the role practitioners play in the primary prevention, screening, evaluation, treatment and ongoing monitoring of comorbidities in overweight and obese patients. Sustained behavioural change for these patients is predicated on a long-term, collaborative relationship between patient and doctor. Guides are included for eliciting the patient's level of change-motivation and offers a framework for structuring lifestyle counselling consultations. The course identifies four pillars of management: patient education and health literacy, lifestyle modifications, medication and weight loss surgery. As a first-line therapy, education and lifestyle interventions including physical activity and diet form the foundation for change. Beyond these interventions, the adjunctive role of medications is also discussed. The pharmacodynamic effects, administration and monitoring of three TGA-approved medications are considered. Bariatric surgery, the primary mechanism, the effectiveness and indications are also outlined. The course discusses the drivers of obesity and the practitioner’s role in primary prevention through education and advocation.

Content includes the medical and complementary management of osteoporosis, genito-urinary syndrome, mood disorders and cardiovascular disease. It provides an outline of the risk factors associated with osteoporosis and fragility fractures. It discusses the tools to assess fracture risk as well as the criteria for, and interpretation of DXA scans. Lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy are also considered. Together with general care, non-hormonal measures and the role of topical or systemic estrogen therapy are considered. Genito-urinary syndrome caused by the hypogenic state of post menopause is discussed. The importance of a mental health assessment for post-menopausal women is emphasised including risk factors and management of depression and anxiety. The course concludes with an overview of cardiovascular disease, the risk factors (including the impact of estrogen deficiency), and the evidence and parameters for hormone therapy.

This course examines the role of medicinal cannabis in treating neuro-inflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia syndrome. It explores the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the regulation of motor behaviour and the high density of cannabinoid receptors in the central nervous system, suggesting that modulating this system may assist in treating motor symptoms such as spasticity, tremor, and dystonia. Medicinal cannabis in the form of an oro-mucosal spray has been shown to be beneficial at reducing spasticity in multiple sclerosis and has been registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods for some years. Other medicinal cannabis formulations may also be useful in managing movement disorders such as Parkinson’s and dystonia. This course also reinforces the important role of medicinal cannabis in alleviating non-motor-related symptoms such as depression, pain, insomnia, and anxiety as well as more broadly improving the patient's quality of life.

This medicinal cannabis course focuses on treatment resistant pain, neuropathic pain, cluster headaches and migraines. Cannabis-based medicine has been used to treat various pain states for centuries but given the growing challenges in chronic pain management, we have begun to seek a more scientific, evidence-based approach to its use. This course weighs the evidence from significant research, reviews, and clinical trials regarding the use of medicinal cannabis in chronic, neuropathic, and intractable pain. It examines the role of cannabinoids in managing pain as an adjunctive or opioid-sparing therapeutic agent or as a third-line therapy when other treatments have failed. The course also examines medicinal cannabis use in ubiquitous headache disorders that confer a significant personal burden of pain and disability and are often inadequately managed by conventional treatments. Practical considerations of medicinal cannabis therapy are outlined. It recommends a treatment agreement between doctor and patient and outlines the agreement features including setting goals, managing expectations, scheduling follow-up, and planning an exit strategy.
