GPs are at the frontline of diagnosis and treatment\, but are often uncertain about making diagnoses and lack confidence in treating people living with BPD. BPD itself is a complex psychiatric disorder with problematic symptoms\, for both patients and their health professionals. Accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment can be challenging\, making it difficult to provide effective medical care. This session will educate GPs on how to recognise clinical presentations of BPD\, empathically diagnose and treat the symptoms of the condition. Specifically\, the session will also focus on the importance of a biopsychosocial approach to care and the benefit of non-stigmatising psychoeducation. GPs attending this session will gain insight into planning treatment and how to set patients up for success\, including consideration of care planning and crisis management. \nCPD Points\nTwo (2) Category 2 RACGP CPD points earned by attending this event \nLearning Outcomes\n1. Recognise signs and symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder\n2. Understand the importance of a biopsychosocial approach to treatment\n3. Explain the diagnosis to patients empathically\n4.

This session will provide GPs with a systematic approach to further investigation and management of a small renal mass. In addition\, topics covered will be penile cancer\, and a relatively common\, but poorly recognised condition: Peyronie’s disease. GPs will also gain insight into new urological surgery techniques that their patients may be undergoing.
