GPs are invited to attend an education forum in mid-June focusing on women’s health.
Focus On: Women’s Health, will be held from 8.30am to 2.30pm on Saturday, 17 June, at Rydges Norwest.
The forum will investigate common women’s health conditions in gynaecology and obstetrics. Topics have been designed to provide practical diagnosis, management and treatment options which GPs can incorporate into their everyday practice.
Some of the learning outcomes include:
- Cervical screening – understanding the basic test and some of the challenging situations when cases are outside standard recommendations.
- Review the aetiology and recognise the risks of pelvic prolapse, be aware of common complications of some interventional treatments like vaginal mesh.
- Investigate common women’s health issues requiring intervention, long-term management and new treatment options i.e. heavy menstrual bleeding, infections in pregnancy.
A panel of five experienced and respected gynaecologists and obstetricians will facilitate the forum, including Associate Professor Indika Alakahoon, a gynaecologist, maternal foetal medicine specialist and obstetrician.
GPs attending the forum will have two hours RP (reviewing performance) and 3.5 hours of EA (educational activities) accredited by RACGP.
Please RSVP by Thursday, 8 June. For more information contact Deb Brodie via email at deb.brodie@healthscope.com.au or call 0418 809 424.
