In this Healthed lecture, urologist, Dr Danielle Delaney explains that nocturnal enuresis is not a benign condition. It can have severe psychosocial repercussions for the child and the family so it is important to ensure that all possible management options are carefully explored and diligently implemented to maximise the chances of success. Treatment options have evolved considerably to include alarms and psychophysiological conditioning which can be very effective but are highly sensitive to user error. The understanding of the pros and cons of pharmacotherapy has also evolved somewhat. Dr Danielle Delaney will provide a practical update on all these aspects of this important condition in this lecture.

In this Healthed lecture, A/Prof Peter Richmond, General Paediatrician and Immunologist; Perth Children’s Hospital; explains that while meningococcal meningitis is a devastating disease, fortunately, vaccination dramatically reduces the risk. And while some meningococcal vaccines are freely available to certain at-risk groups, others need to be paid for by the patient which can be a barrier.  For the treating GP, the challenge is to provide patients with the appropriate information and education so they can make a realistic assessment of the cost-benefit equation. This includes making people aware that unfunded does not mean unimportant. A/Prof Richmond will provide practical advice on these important conversations to ensure the best possible outcome.
