Topics to be covered

Work Up of a Breast Lump in GP – Practical Tips and Traps
Dr Sally Meade

For most women and indeed most GPs, a newly discovered breast lump is cancer until proven otherwise. In this very practical and valuable talk, Dr Sally Meade will provide a refresher on assessing and managing breast lumps, including an update on the most appropriate investigations, imaging and likely diagnosis. She will also be giving an overview of the latest thinking and recommendations for other breast presentations including breast pain and nipple discharge.

Semaglutide – Which Dose for Which Patient?
Dr Gary Deed

Semaglutide has certainly taken Australia by storm. Now with more than one option available it is likely many consultations will include questions and discussions about the differences between the options, advantages and disadvantages, and importantly which option is best for a particular patient. In this talk Dr Gary Deed will address all these issues and present the latest evidence and recommendations to help navigate this very topical area of practice.

Triple Therapy in Asthma – Case Studies in Primary Care
Dr Andrew Scroop

While most adults with asthma can be readily and effectively managed in general practice, there exists a small group of patients who continue to have symptoms despite our best efforts. In this presentation, Dr Andrew Scroop will present a number of case studies that effectively demonstrate the best evidence-based approach to such patients. Starting with confirming the diagnosis of asthma and identifying any confounders all the way to determining which patients might benefit from triple therapy and when and how it should be initiated.

RSV Update
Prof Paul Griffin

The new vaccines for Respiratory Syncytial Virus are here. And patients are asking about them, courtesy of a far-reaching public awareness campaign about RSV. In this talk, Professor Paul Griffin will provide a timely update on all that treating health professionals need to know about these vaccines including the current ATAGI recommendations on who should be vaccinated and when, their effectiveness, side-effects, cost and the practical differences between Arexvy and Abrysvo, the two RSV vaccines currently available.
