An educational evening for prescribers will be held in Perth focusing on the decision to commence a patient on antiviral therapy.
The hepatitis B case discussion evening will be facilitated by Dr Michael Wallace, Gastroenterologist, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Nedlands WA – and will take place over an informal dinner.
A range of case studies will be discussed that focus on considerations for starting a patient on treatment. Cases will also reinforce how to best manage a patient already on treatment and how to monitor patients in your care not yet needing treatment.
At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
• Screen at-risk patients, accurately diagnose CHB infection and assess phase of the disease
• Monitor patients appropriately, establish suitability for treatment
• Discuss aims of treatment, antiviral treatment options, duration of therapy and definitions of response
• Monitor patients on treatment according to established protocols, recognise and manage treatment response, resistance, hepatitis flares, and encourage compliance
• Recognise risk factors, clinical signs, symptoms and complications of advanced liver disease and manage or refer to specialist care appropriately
We encourage all Hepatitis B s100 prescribers in Perth and around to attend this session.
A webinar will be available for remote & rural GPs. Please contact Sam.Hoang@ashm.org.au if you are interested in attending online.
