December 16, 2021Pertussis vaccination is unfunded but still important
With the covid vaccinations taking centre stage many vaccines have been overlooked particularly the privately funded ones
GPs can build pertussis reminders into our workflow in templates for care plans, antenatal shared care, age-related check-ups, for the high-risk groups of patients, travellers and into our recall systems
You can improve pertussis vaccination rates by having the vaccine on hand and offering it opportunistically
Patients respond well to GP recommendations for vaccinations, so we just need to specifically advise and offer pertussis vaccination

December 08, 2021 Hypophosphataemia Associated with IV Iron Infusions – Should We Be Concerned?
In this Healthed lecture, nephrologist, Prof Lawrence McMahon covers iron metabolism, IV infusions, and hypophosphataemia. Clinicians should remain alert to the possibility of hypophosphatemia, particularly in those who have IV iron regularly. It appears to be more common with certain IV iron preparations. Suspect it if your post-infusion patient complains of symptoms such as weakness, bone pain, or a change in mental state. In such patients, serum phosphate should be measured and hypophosphatemia corrected. Consideration should also be given to the use of alternative IV iron products in patients who have risk factors for or a history of hypophosphatemia.
