Pulmonary fibrosis represents a significant diagnostic and management challenge in primary care. With a global average delay of two years between symptom onset and diagnosis, early recognition is crucial for improving patient outcomes. This delay often occurs because symptoms like breathlessness and cough are non-specific and easily attributed to more common conditions, particularly in older patients with smoking histories. Gain practical guidance on detection, assessment, and management strategies relevant to general practitioners, who are often the first point of contact for these patients.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer globally, with keratinocyte cancers being most common. Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous lesions and are present in 40% to 60% of Caucasians aged over 40 years old in Australia. Actinic keratoses are clinically significant not only because they may progress to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) but also because the presence of multiple AKs indicates significant UV exposure and areas of field cancerisation. As most skin cancer is preventable, GPs have a crucial role in educating patients about sun-smart behaviours, as well as treating precancerous lesions. This is an online interactive CPD activity. The primary aim of this CPD activity is to advance the assessment and management of AKs with a focus on when GPs need to treat the field, to eliminate both visible and subclinical lesions to minimise the risk of progression to SCC.

This is an interactive workshop designed to assist GPs to evaluate and optimise their management of patients with asthma and to adopt core oral corticosteroid stewardship principles to reduce the risk of corticosteroid related adverse effects. This activity reviews the risks associated with oral corticosteroids and assists GPs adopt core corticosteroid stewardship principles to minimise the risk of corticosteroid-related adverse outcomes. A core component is to optimise asthma maintenance therapy to reduce the risk of future exacerbations including the role of adding a LAMA. This is achieved by reviewing the key stewardship principles and looking at their application with interactive case studies.
