SUMMARY:Diabetes Update 2017 – Free Webcast
DESCRIPTION:FREE LIVE WEBCAST \nWhile the seminar is taking place in Brisbane\, health professionals across Australia can watch the live webcast in the comfort of their own home or clinic. The webcast audience will have the opportunity to ask the speakers questions and participate in polling during the event. Stream the seminar on your computer\, tablet or internet-connected device. Instructions on how to log into the webcast will be emailed to registered delegates in the weeks before the event. \nPROGRAM  \nTOPIC: Managing Metabolic Syndrome in Mental Illness\nSPEAKER: Dr Marlene Tham\, Director of Melbourne Weight Loss; Director of Medical & Mind Weight Loss \nPeople with severe mental illness have an average life expectancy 20 years less than the general population. This is due to higher rates of physical illness and metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance\, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. More than 50% of people with mental illness will develop metabolic syndrome. Marlene will examine this phenomena and discuss evidence based interventions that will prevent progression of this disease down the metabolic highway.  \nTOPIC: The Holy Grail on CVD Reduction in Type 2 Diabetes: Have we Found it?\nSPEAKER: Prof Michael D’Emden\, Director of Diabetes and Endocrinology\, Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital\, Vice President\, The Australian Diabetes Society \nReducing BGLs has been shown to reduce microvascular disease but up until now antidiabetic therapies (ADTs) have had no impact on the rates of macrovascular disease. Recently\, several new classes of ADTs have been introduced with promising effects on CV risks. Their role in improving cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes will be discussed. \nTOPIC: Intensifying Insulin: What Are Our Options?\nSPEAKER: A/Prof Gary Kilov\, Founding member\, The RACGP Diabetes Specific Interest Group; Co-founder of Primary Care Diabetes Society of Australia (PCDSA)  \nRecently\, our options for intensification of insulin regimens have changed considerably as emerging evidence and changes to the PBS have afforded us new opportunities with non-insulin therapies\, in addition to more traditional insulin intensification practices. \nTOPIC: Management of Diabetic Foot in General Practice – Practical Advice\nSPEAKER: Malindu Fernando – Clinic Coordinator – Podiatry\, Queensland University of Technology \nGPs are often frustrated by the large gaps between guideline recommendations and the practical realities of managing diabetic feet in primary care. This session is designed to help GPs overcome these issues while at the same time using best available evidence and expert advice. \nQ&A – Expert Panel

SUMMARY:Professional Certificate of Aesthetic Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Develop solid foundation knowledge in aesthetic principles and the safe practice of quick\, highly requested and low-cost-to-deliver aesthetic treatments for clinical conditions. The Professional Certificate of Aesthetic Medicine is aimed at GPs with a clinical interest in the science of aesthetic medicine and the wish to grow their practice in that area. This course assumes no prior knowledge or specific training in the aesthetics field. Participants must have completed their MBBS.  \nThe latest trends in health and skin care result in an increased demand for skin repair and rejuvenation services – and skilled practitioners. Patients seek to improve the quality of their lives through physical changes and prefer to receive these services from a trusted\, qualified doctor than from a beautician or cosmetic nurse. Meeting your patients’ aesthetic concerns and helping them to regain their healthy appearance and confidence at their local GP’s clinic will build long-term loyalty and add non-Medicare based revenue to your practice. Most aesthetic treatments are safe\, quick and low-cost to deliver requiring repeated visits with minimal side-effects\, no downtime\, and immediately visible results for your patients – a win-win situation. \nThe theory and practical course covers:\n– Concepts of aesthetic medicine\, facial ageing and skin classifications\n– Facial anatomy\, facial anaesthesia and planning of cosmetic procedures\n– Chemical peels and topical skin treatments\n– Chemical composition and safe practice of Botulinum toxin\n– Dermal fillers and basic filler techniques\n– How to integrate aesthetic services into your practice \nUpon successful completion of the exam\, course participants will receive the Professional Certificate in Aesthetic Medicine and 40 RACGP Category 1 CPD points / 30 ACRRM PRPD points. \nFull price: $3\,195 | Early Bird: $2\,995 | Deferred payment: $845 monthly x 4
