To provide education on the safe management of ear wax (cerumen), and recognition of common ear pathology.

Join us for the Pain Update on 23 May 2026 at the HMRI Building or via live stream. This year’s program brings together leading clinicians to deliver a practical and contemporary update on pain management across a range of settings. The program will explore key topics including chronic pain management in general practice with a focus on minimising opioid harm, interventional strategies as alternatives to opioids, integrated pain treatment and referral pathways, pain management in patients with a short prognosis, and the assessment and management of spinal stenosis. With expert-led sessions from experienced specialists, CPD accreditation, trade displays, and valuable opportunities to connect with colleagues, this half-day event offers an essential and clinically relevant update for healthcare professionals involved in pain management.

By the end of the Induction Processes for General Practice webinar, participants will be able to: Understand why effective inductions matter in general practice Apply a practical induction framework that reflects real-life practice pressures Participants will leave with ideas to map, measure, and strengthen their practice’s induction process

Basic Life Support (CPR) course specifically designed for all the practice team and all primary care settings. Includes separate clinical components for GP and nursing staff, using practice-comparable equipment

This webinar equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to assess and manage incontinence in the general practice setting. Attendees will explore the common types of urinary and faecal incontinence, understand key risk factors, and learn how to carry out a thorough initial assessment using effective history-taking, screening tools, and basic investigations. The session also covers how to recognise red flags requiring urgent action, apply appropriate first-line management strategies, and make informed referral decisions. Practical guidance is provided on educating patients about symptom management, along with best practices for clear and accurate documentation of assessments, care plans, and follow-up.

To provide education on the safe management of ear wax (cerumen), and recognition of common ear pathology.

This webinar will provide a practical approach to assessing patients who present with chest pain in general practice. It will explore how to distinguish between typical and atypical symptoms, recognise red flags that require urgent referral to the emergency department, and undertake appropriate initial investigations, including ECG interpretation, relevant pathology, and cardiovascular risk assessment. Participants will gain an understanding of the range of non-invasive cardiac investigations available—such as stress ECG, stress echocardiography, CT coronary angiography, nuclear perfusion imaging, and transthoracic echocardiography—and how to select the most appropriate test based on a patient’s presentation, age, cardiovascular risk profile, and pre-test probability of coronary artery disease. The session will also outline when referral to cardiology is indicated, including situations requiring urgent escalation of care, and highlight common pitfalls in chest pain assessment, such as over- and under-investigation. Case-based discussions will be used to support evidence-based clinical reasoning in real-world general practice scenarios. In addition, the webinar will introduce the role of interventional radiology in contemporary patient care. It will cover commonly performed procedures relevant to general practice, including image-guided biopsies, drainage and abscess management, joint and spinal injections, varicose vein treatments, uterine fibroid embolisation, and peripheral vascular interventions. Attendees will learn how to identify appropriate indications for referral, determine optimal timing and patient selection, and understand how these minimally invasive options compare with traditional surgical pathways in terms of recovery and patient outcomes. The session will also guide participants on how to prepare effective referrals to interventional radiology, including the key clinical information required to support timely access to care. It will address contraindications, potential risks, and important counselling points, and use case-based examples to demonstrate how interventional radiology can improve patient outcomes in the community general practice setting.

By the end of this webinar, participants will have a stronger understanding of normal versus pathological ageing and greater confidence in recognising complex geriatric syndromes such as frailty, cognitive impairment, polypharmacy and falls risk. The session will build practical skills in conducting focused geriatric assessments in general practice and provide strategies for managing multimorbidity in older patients. Participants will gain clear guidance on when and how to escalate concerns or refer to external services including My Aged Care, ACAT, allied health and geriatricians. The webinar will also enhance knowledge of medication-related risks, deprescribing, best-practice guidelines in geriatric care, cognitive screening and falls prevention, while strengthening communication skills for discussing sensitive issues with older patients and their families. There will be opportunity to explore real-world clinical questions through discussion with a geriatrician.
