This 60-minute interactive webinar helps GPs and primary care clinicians recognise and manage hereditary cancer risk in everyday practice. Using real clinical cases, participants will learn to identify red-flag features in family histories, apply the CanRisk tool, and determine when to refer patients to a Familial Cancer Service. The session also covers interpreting genetic test results, understanding referral pathways, and supporting patients through shared decision-making. Led by an expert genetics specialist and GP educator, this webinar provides practical strategies to confidently assess familial cancer risk and deliver personalised, evidence-based care.

Mastering ASCVD Risk Management: Spotlight on Lp(a) is a focused 90-minute online masterclass designed to equip general practitioners and primary care teams with practical, evidence-based strategies to address residual cardiovascular risk beyond LDL-cholesterol control. Despite advances in lipid management, many patients remain at high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), particularly those with a family history or recurrent events despite optimal therapy. This program explores the emerging role of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] - a genetically determined, independent risk factor affecting up to one in five Australians - and its contribution to myocardial infarction, stroke, and aortic valve disease. Faculty will provide guidance on when and how to test for Lp(a), interpret results, and integrate findings into everyday practice. Through concise presentations, case-based discussions, and Qandamp;A, participants will learn how to embed Lp(a) testing into routine workflows, identify patients requiring therapy intensification, and apply contemporary guideline-directed management. The session supports active learning, performance review, and outcome measurement, empowering clinicians to recognise residual risk earlier, make confident testing decisions, and coordinate care that improves long-term patient outcomes.

This webinar equips healthcare providers with the knowledge to effectively implement the Coordinated Veterans’ Care (CVC) Program, a key initiative supporting proactive, structured care for eligible veterans and war widows. By attending, GPs, nurses, and practice managers will gain a clear understanding of eligibility criteria, billing (UP01–UP04), and the 90-day care cycle, ensuring accurate and compliant claims. The session will help practices seamlessly integrate the CVC Program into existing chronic disease management workflows, reducing hospitalisations and improving patient outcomes. With real-world examples and solutions to common administrative challenges, attendees will leave equipped to deliver coordinated, sustainable, and high-quality care; enhancing both practice efficiency and veteran wellbeing.

Mental health conditions are a leading cause of disease burden among young Australians, with nearly 40% of those aged 16–24 affected each year, almost double the national average. Rates of anxiety, depression and antidepressant prescribing have all risen sharply, and suicide remains the leading cause of death for people aged 15–24. This mini audit supports GPs in reviewing and optimising care for young patients with mental health concerns. It focuses on appropriate prescribing, access to evidence-based psychological and lifestyle supports, and improving continuity and coordination of care, helping clinicians play a pivotal role in early recognition, assessment and shared decision-making.

In this practical and engaging recorded presentation from the Northern Rivers Melanoma Specialists’ Update, Skin Cancer GP A/Prof Paul Fishburn and Pathologist Dr Alexandra Currie explore how dermoscopy and dermatopathology work together to improve skin cancer diagnosis. In the first presentation, A/Prof Fishburn covers core principles of dermoscopy, including pattern recognition, the “Chaos and Clues” approach and key features of both pigmented and non-pigmented lesions. Special attention is given to challenging clinical scenarios and high-risk anatomical sites. Dr Currie then explains how dermoscopic findings correlate with histopathology and highlights what clinicians should include on pathology requests to support accurate diagnosis.The presentations conclude with case study discussions demonstrating dermoscopic histopathological correlation.

This Mini Audit has been designed for GPs who do not see many skin cancer patients and who don't participate in the Sonic Surgical Audit.Participants are required to submit a minimum of three surgical skin cases, seen with the previous 12 months and answer a series of reflective questions on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of these cases. They then undertake some learning in the form of a published journal article review and quiz, watch two videos on skin cancer and again answer questions and finally reflect on their actions with regards the three cases and what if anything they would do differently having undertaken the learning in this course.
