Topics to be covered

Current Asthma Management Update
Prof Dave Singh

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure could have been written about asthma. Asthmatic patients who are repeatedly treating symptoms or exacerbations will have poorer health outcomes long-term than those who take adequate prevention. Here, UK Professor Dave Singh will present the key features to help identify those patients who need better control of their asthma and how to determine the treatable factors that can be targeted. In addition, he will provide simple strategies that clinicians can use to improve these patients' respiratory health both immediately and in the long-term.

Prostate Cancer Screening – The Latest Thinking
A/Prof Jeremy Grummet

Changes in guidelines to PSA testing are coming. Confusion has clouded the issue of PSA testing for prostate cancer now for many years. Benefits in mortality and morbidity have been weighed against the risks of overtreatment of unharmful types of prostate cancer. However, recent major changes in routine practice including MRI, transperineal biopsy and active surveillance have mitigated these risks enormously. Associate Professor Jeremy Grummet will explain how, and provide the very latest evidence-based thinking on PSA testing to inform your daily practice.

STI Update
Prof Jason Ong

The latest Australian STI management guidelines have a number of changes that impact current clinical practice. In this talk, Associate Professor Jason Ong outlines the most relevant new recommendations to the assessment and management of sexually transmitted diseases as they present here in Australia. In addition, he will discuss the current 'state of play' in terms of STIs in this country and how best these can be prevented, detected and managed.

Environmental Toxicants and Their Impact on Fertility
A/Prof Mark Green

How are everyday environmental chemicals affecting fertility and human reproduction? What is the evidence? How great is our exposure? And most importantly, what can be done about it? In this talk Associate Professor Mark Green will answer all these questions and give an overview of the what, where and how these endocrine disrupting chemicals are potentially influencing the health of young Australians.
