Chronic kidney disease: Issues for general practitioners
This module uses several case studies as a platform to discuss topics such as identifying patients at risk of CKD, diabetic kidney disease and heavy proteinuria.
Diabetes and chronic kidney disease: A sinister combination
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease and approximately 1/3 of all people with diabetes will have Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD).
What's polio got to do with general practice in Australia in 2020?
Late effects of polio include post-polio syndrome and symptoms such as residual weakness, musculoskeletal imbalance, growth retardation or skeletal deformities in affected limbs, respiratory insufficiency and cold intolerance due to circulatory disturbances. Many patients living with the late effects of polio are unaware that their current presenting symptoms could be related to their initial polio infection. This module aims to educate GPs on the late effects of polio and how to identify and support affected patients.
Paediatric neuromuscular disorders: early intervention is key
Paediatric neuromuscular disorders can greatly impact quality of life, and delays in diagnosis can result in poor prognosis compared to early intervention. This module aims to increase knowledge on paediatric NMDs and their associated red flags for referral, and understand the role of the GP in the management of the patient.
General practice: Diabetes doesn't stop for COVID - On-demand webinar
Diabetes doesn't stop for a pandemic. This on-demand webinar will outline pragmatic ways that GPs play crucial roles in proactively managing diabetes during this pandemic. The presenters will show how to identify diabetes 'red flags' during this pandemic, and provide simple steps, resources and tips that will promote optimal diabetes patient health and address individual patient risks.
Optimising insulin for patients with type 2 diabetes in general practice
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions in Australia today, and its management relies upon effective glycaemic control to minimise the risk of complications. This module aims to improve GP understanding of how to optimise insulin in type 2 diabetes.
Dementia in primary care: Recognising and managing behavioural and psychological symptoms and physical comorbidities
Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) can lead to quality of life impacts in not only the individual with dementia, but also others around them. This module explores the assessment of BPSD using the ABC (antecedent, behaviour, consequence) model, and discusses the management of BPSD using pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods as well as the management of comorbid conditions associated with dementia.
