Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplastic lesions that arise in the neuroendocrine system, and at many different disease sites. Once considered a rare disease, NET incidence has increased in recent decades. Depending on the body location of a NET, they can produce a variety of symptoms or in some cases produce no symptoms. The symptoms can be vague and non-specific (e.g. lethargy) or similar to those of other, more common conditions. The median time from first appearance of symptoms to NETs diagnosis is 9.2 years. On average, it takes 4–7 years for a patient to receive a correct NETs diagnosis. The aim of this education is to increase the disease awareness of NETs, specifically around the complex symptomology of the disease, thus bringing NET to the forefront of the GP’s mind in an attempt to reduce the time to diagnosis.

GPs are the most consulted mental health professionals and play a significant role in the initial assessment and referral of individuals to treatment services. In their review, Lynch, Askew, Mitchell and Hegarty (2012) identified the need for clarification of assessment priorities, processes and content to ensure assessment provides a holistic understanding of the person and their problem. The Department of Health and Aged Care set up the National Initial Assessment and Referral in Mental Healthcare Project which includes the development of National PHN Guidance and a Decision Support Tool (DST). The IAR aims to support GPs and clinicians to determine a consistent level of care. The IAR-DST equips users with a standardised framework to guide clinical judgement and inform discussions about treatment options. This training aims to deliver the key points of the national guidance and education on using the DST.

Missed opportunities for vaccination are common. There are many reasons why people do not get a vaccination on a particular day. Vaccine confidence is a problem of hesitancy rather than refusal. Even when refusal is suspected, vaccine confidence may not be the primary reason for low coverage. Logistical barriers to accessing vaccination, such as issues of poverty or geographic isolation, are important contributors to lower vaccination coverage in Australia. The AIMS method was developed as an actionable process-based behaviour change program to facilitate talking with patients as opposed to taking to patients. Your recommendation is a major driver of vaccination uptake. This interactive online activity designed to empower GPs with communication skills that increase the effectiveness and level of confidence of their conversations with patients regarding vaccination. As GPs, a key objective of every conversation is to sustain or build trust. When you communicate the right way, you build trust by addressing the concerns of vaccine-supportive caregivers/patients and motivating a hesitant caregiver/patient towards vaccine acceptance. The information and videos in this activity will reinforce that what GPs say to our caregivers and patients matters, but how we say it matters more.
