Around 80% of women in Australia will experience symptoms of menopause. 50% of women in their 50’s get significant symptoms; 20% get moderate or severe hot flushes or night sweats. Only 15-20% of women are on effective treatment for their symptoms.The overwhelming majority of Australian women experiencing menopausal symptoms will be managed exclusively by their GP. Despite the findings of the Women’s Health Initiative of 2002 now being largely rebuffed for its design imperfections, the negative views of menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) and overstated risks of adverse effects endure in many health practitioners. Without the proactive and clinically up-to-date treatment via general practitioners, many Australian women face the prospect of a peri-menopause experience with inadequate access to appropriate therapies.Moreover, while mood symptoms are listed on the Menopause Symptoms Checklist, there is poor recognition and acceptance of the emerging evidence that the menopause can cause depressive illness in its own right, including in women who have never before had a mood disorder. A paradigm shift in thinking about mood symptoms in peri-menopausal women is needed- to understand the cognitive and emotional effects of oestrogen deficiency and to offer women appropriate and targeted therapies.

Lipoedema is a disease of the loose connective tissues leading to dysregulated and abnormal growth of mainly fatty tissue. This results in disfiguring and painful adipose tissue that appears disproportionate to the size and shape of the affected person’s body. It affects 11% of people worldwide and is very commonly misdiagnosed as lipoedema or obesity. Lack of awareness of this condition by the medical profession and an insistence that the adiposity is obesity causes significant distress in patients, particularly because this adiposity is not amenable to usual weight reduction measures. An urgent need for increased awareness and understanding among clinicians exists so that patients can be correctly diagnosed and evidence-based treatments options offered, and so that harmful narratives about this phenotype can be eliminated.

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.

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.

The importance of good medical record keeping cannot be overstated. They are a vital part of quality ongoing patient care, both for you and for other involved practitioners. They are a Medicare and Medical Board requirement and can improve the defensibility of a claim of complaint. Understanding how AI tools can be used to provide greater efficiency and accuracy in record keeping while keeping within the medico legal boundaries is critical.This activity explores the use of AI scribes in practice, providing opportunities to explore AI tools.

The educational event aims to reorient practitioners in the community setting to the evolving epidemiology of RSV in Australia. While RSV can lead to children becoming severely unwell and hospitalised, the majority of children will be assessed in the first instance by their GP. As RSV lay relatively dormant during COVID, most clinician focus was on the identification of that illness during the COVID pandemic. Relaxed COVID restrictions has resulted in changing RSV patterns and severity of infection. It is important to re-focus attention to non-COVID respiratory infections in children, with particular emphasis on children at particular risk of poor outcomes. Use of evidence-based care in the community and signals for escalating care to tertiary settings is called for. Emerging treatments and preventive measures will play a role in mitigating the effect of this disease.

This webinar explores the increasing impact of dementia and the essential role GPs play in its management. With dementia often occurring alongside other chronic conditions, GPs are uniquely positioned to provide early diagnosis, continuity of care, and holistic support across the disease trajectory. The session will cover key principles of chronic disease management as applied to dementia, including cognitive screening, care planning, monitoring progression, and managing behavioural symptoms. It will address the complex interplay between dementia and other chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with a focus on practical strategies to reduce risks like polypharmacy and non-adherence. The webinar also highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, outlining the roles of GPs, nurses, allied health, pharmacists, and dementia-specific services, particularly in rural settings. Real-world case examples will help reinforce learning, and participants will gain tools to better support patients and their caregivers.
