The intermediate risk pathway for patients with a HPV (not 16/18) +ve cervical screening test result changed on 1st February 2021 based on new data collected from the National Cervical Screening Program. In order to support best-practice clinical care, A/Prof Deborah Bateson, Medical Director, Family Planning NSW and Clinical Associate Professor, University of Sydney, will explain what the changes to the pathway are for patients at low risk and higher risk of underlying high grade abnormalities.

In this Healthed lecture, A/Prof Gary Kilov - Founding Member, RACGP Specific Interest Group For Diabetes; Co-Founder, Primary Care Diabetes Society Australia; Senior Lecturer, University of Tasmania will explain why Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment option for the patient with significant obesity. The GP plays an integral role in the shared care long term management of the bariatric patient. This lecture will describe the most commonly used bariatric-metabolic surgical procedures, their mechanism of action, patient selection, weight loss and health outcomes including diabetes, managing acute and long term complications, and involvement of the integrated health team including the GP to optimise long term outcome.

In this Healthed lecture, Dr Rupert Hinds - Consultant Gastroenterologist, Monash Children’s Hospital; Senior Lecturer, Monash University explains that functional gut disorders are very common in infancy, generally self-limiting and rarely represent an underlying pathological diagnosis. Nonetheless, they have a significant impact on parents/carers as well as being a common reason for interactions with healthcare professionals. A thorough history and examination is required to ensure there are no red flags. Parental education/reassurance and nutritional advice are the main management strategies.

In this Healthed lecture, Prof Andrew Sindone, Cardiologist; Director, Heart Failure Unit at Department of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Concord Hospital explains that iron deficiency anemia is widely present in patients with heart failure with an estimated prevalence of over 50% in ambulatory patients. It is an independent predictor of worse functional capacity and survival. Even without anemia, iron deficiency is associated with poorer outcomes for these patients suggesting that the issue is not just relating to oxygen delivery but also broader energy generating metabolic pathways. At present, intravenous (IV) iron is the preferred route for treatment in heart failure patients. IV iron administration is associated with improvement in several important parameters. The latest research reveals important clinical action points for both GPs and specialists.

The post bariatric patient is in the midst of a life changing experience, the kind of support they receive makes a big difference to the long term outcomes

Post bariatric surgery, the patient is effectively in a chronic mal-absorptive state. Protein intake, Vitamin B12, iron, calcium are particularly impacted

OTC multivitamins are NOT sufficient to meet the needs of these patients, most GPs are unaware of how to supplement and monitor effectively
