This course focuses on bariatric surgery and describes the most common bariatric surgery procedures including laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. Although less common, laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with/without duodenal switch is also discussed. The benefits, complications, effectiveness and success of these surgeries are outlined. Eligibility criteria for bariatric surgery is included as well as screening patients for suitability. The course then discusses the role of nutrition for all bariatric surgery stages including pre and post-operative nutrition management, micronutrients and macronutrients targets, common deficiencies and complications post-surgery. New behaviours for a bariatric patient in order to significantly improve their long-term health and weight success post-surgery are included. A case study reinforces the course content. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;

Cancer is a significant public health issue in Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, cancer diagnoses are projected to surpass 200,000 annually by 2034, while in New Zealand, 25,000 people are diagnosed each year. This escalating burden presents substantial challenges to the healthcare system, contributing to rising costs and increasing demand for oncological care services. A key contributing factor to cancer risk is diet. The Western diet, characterised by high intakes of processed foods, saturated fats, and animal protein, ranks high on the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and promotes chronic inflammation. This chronic inflammatory state can contribute to carcinogenesis through immune-driven mechanisms that promote cell proliferation and survival, alongside the generation of oxidative stress.In contrast, whole food plant-based (WFPB) diets, rich in fibre, antioxidants, and phytonutrients, exert anti-inflammatory effects and mitigate oxidative stress, thereby lowering the risk of various cancers. Adopting a WFPB diet can enhance treatment efficacy by improving immune function and promoting long-term survival for individuals undergoing cancer treatment. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;

This clinical audit activity presents latest evidence-based recommendations and PBS pathways for reducing cardiorenal risk in people with type 2 diabetes and comorbid cardiovascular disease, multiple cardiovascular risk factors and/or kidney disease. It also provides a practical framework for optimising the care of patients with T2D who are facing enhanced cardiorenal risk, using lifestyle and guideline-directed medical therapies.

Five years on from the start of COVID-19, the acute phase of the pandemic has passed but variants continue to circulate with periodic increases in transmission. For GPs and their patients, staying informed and proactive is crucial, especially for vulnerable people who continue to be at risk of harm. In this on-demand webinar, you willgain the latest updates in epidemiology, evidence and best practice in primary care, as we begin to evolve towards a longer-term approach to COVID-19 in our communities. Presented by infectious disease physician Assoc. Prof Paul Griffin and GP Dr Anita Munoz, join us for this very important COVID 2025 update.

Following an on-demand webinar GPs are invited to complete a clinical audit in which they identify patients with COPD who have a history of moderate to severe exacerbations in the past 12 months and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The audit will encourage GPs to consider how the patient’s self-management behaviours, inhaled COPD medications and prescribed non-pharmacological treatments could be further optimised, in line with evidence-based guidelines, to improve symptom control and reduce the risk of further exacerbations.

This course introduces and defines the features and pathogenisis of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. General practitioners are uniquely placed to diagnose and manage this condition. Screening tools, medical complications and risk factors are explained together with the complexities, incidence and prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Common features of this condition are described including abdominal (visceral) obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and microalbuminuria. Risk factors affecting the endocrine, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems are outlined as well as the relationship with coronary heart disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The role of the gut microbiome in patients with metabolic syndrome is mentioned. A case study reinforces learning. The second section focusses on environmental determinants including lifestyle choices, nutrition, physical activity and medications. Low energy and ketogenic states are detailed in addition to a change in overall dietary patterns. Referral options to dieticians and surgery are mentioned. A case study concludes this course. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;
