Endometriosis Update
A/Prof Gino Pecoraro OAM

Endometriosis affects more than 10% of young women and its effects can be devastating. Even so, research shows it takes, on average, seven years for these women to get a diagnosis let alone start treatment. In this talk, Associate Professor Gino Pecoraro will present the latest evidence-based recommendations to help suspect, investigate, diagnose and effectively treat endometriosis in the place where it is most likely to be seen, general practice.

With our ageing population, maintaining muscle health is likely to become even more important. In this talk, Professor Simon Willcock, provides a practical framework to help GPs identify and assess older patients with or at risk of sarcopenia and muscle weakness, and, importantly, what can be done to prevent and manage the condition.

That's what respiratory physician, Dr Li Ping Chung will be explaining in this talk. She will also be giving some very practical advice to help the prescribing physician choose between the various triple therapy options that are currently available, to help ensure the individual patient gets the most appropriate treatment to achieve the best possible health outcome.
