This advanced course reviews latest recommendations and practical advice for the person-centred care of type 2 diabetes in general practice.

Hosted by Dr Shane Nanayakkara (interventional, structural and heart failure cardiologist) and A/Prof Ralph Audehm (General Practitioner), this on-demand webinar describes the diagnostic process in HFpEF and explores differences between the management of HFpEF and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

This 2-hour educational activity explores the diagnosis and management of HFpEF in general practice, with a focus on updated management recommendations from the 2022 Australian Consensus Statement on Heart Failure.

In this on-demand webinar, Dr Anita Sharma discusses the risk of shingles (herpes zoster) and its complications in individuals aged 50 years and over, with a focus on how that risk is influenced by advancing age and common chronic conditions. Current Australian recommendations for shingles vaccination will be discussed, alongside a review of the shingles vaccines available in Australia.¹ GPs will be invited to consider how they might improve shingles vaccine uptake among patients 50 years and older in their practice.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is largely preventable with a number of modifiable clinical factors accounting for the majority of risk. The absolute risk approach is potentially more than twice as effective at reducing death from coronary heart disease as the individual risk factor approach. In this on-demand module, A/Prof Ralph Audehm outlines how you can implement the absolute risk approach in your practice, including use of Heart Health Checks.

This clinical audit will guide GPs through the process of identifying patients for whom herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination is recommended, and outlines the evidence and current Australian recommendations for selecting the most appropriate type of HZ vaccine for each patient.
