Recurrent weals are a frequent reason for GP visits, yet many patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria are misdiagnosed as having allergy, eczema, or dermatitis, or experience delays in reaching a definitive diagnosis. This often leads to unnecessary investigations or repeated short courses of oral corticosteroids. This webinar provides a clear, practical framework to help you distinguish CSU from its key mimics using lesion behaviour, pattern recognition, and minimal investigations. Through 3 case studies of increasing complexity, you’ll learn how to recognise hallmark features, avoid common diagnostic pitfalls, and identify when symptoms suggest an alternative diagnosis or warrant specialist referral.

Addressing health inequities

General Practitioners (GPs) play a central role in prescribing and managing medications for people living with dementia. Through a person-centred approach, GPs are responsible for initiating, adjusting, and discontinuing medicines as appropriate. Collaboration with pharmacists and other health professionals is essential to ensure safe deprescribing practices and the quality use of medicines. Pharmacists bring expertise in medication reviews and deprescribing strategies, working closely with GPs to optimise medicine use and reduce medication burden. Together, they help prevent medication-related problems—up to 50% of which are considered avoidable—by implementing evidence-based interventions tailored to individual needs. The broader interdisciplinary team, including nurses, allied health practitioners, and aged care staff, provides valuable insights and supports non-pharmacological interventions. This collaborative approach ensures holistic care, improving health outcomes and quality of life for people living with dementia, particularly in rural and regional settings where access to timely healthcare can be challenging.

General practitioners playa central rolein delivering palliative and end-of-life care in the community, yet palliative care accounts for arelatively smallproportion of general practice consultations. Despite this, the complexity of symptom management, advance care planning and service navigation requires GPs and registrars tomaintainup-to-date, practical skills.There is a demonstrated need for structured guidance to support early identification of patients with palliative care needs,timelyplanning, and confident management of symptoms in the terminal phase. GPs also require practical tools to support safe prescribing, improve access to essential medicines in the community, and engage in meaningful conversations that align care with patient preferences.Thiswebinaraddresses these gaps by introducing an evidence-based palliative care framework, practical prescribing support tools, and a clinical audit process aligned with RACGP Standards and national end-of-life care guidelines, supporting quality improvement in everyday general practice.
