Capital Health Network

Skin conditions account for more than one‑sixth of all general practice consultations. While many acute dermatological presentations are straightforward and resolve with standard treatment, chronic skin conditions often present a greater challenge.

How can GPs optimise the management of chronic dermatological conditions within the scope of general practice? What investigations, tests, and treatments can be initiated in primary care to support timely dermatology triage and help reduce pressure on specialist services?

Capital Health Network, in collaboration with a team of experienced ACT‑based dermatologists, invites you to attend a series of four educational webinars. This series will focus on the diagnosis and management of common chronic skin conditions, providing practical guidance to support GPs in everyday practice. The first webinar will presented by Dr Diana Rubel, and will focus on acne and rosacea.

Capital Health Network, together with the Stroke Foundation, invite GPs in the ACT to a webinar focusing on TIA management in general practice. With over 80% of strokes considered preventable, general practitioners play a critical role in identifying patients at high risk, supporting risk reduction, and enabling timely intervention. This webinar will equip you with evidence-based, practical strategies to systematically reduce stroke risk in your practice, alongside guidance on rapid response planning.

The session will focus on the recognition and acute management of Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIAs), including appropriate referral pathways based on timing of symptoms – including escalation to emergency services (000) – and managing targeted secondary prevention medications. It will also highlight approaches to improving stroke awareness among staff and patients and outline key stroke resources available in the ACT. Join us to strengthen your practice’s approach to stroke prevention and improve patient outcomes.

Capital Health Network, together with Credentialed Diabetes Educator Karen Jameson from Diabetes Australia and a multidisciplinary allied health team of Dietitians, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, and Exercise Physiologists, is pleased to invite you to a series of 5 webinars focusing on contemporary diabetes management. Diabetes management is a rapidly evolving field. Advances in pharmacotherapy, innovations in diabetes technologies, updated clinical guidelines, and growing evidence for lifestyle interventions mean that health care providers must remain up-to-date to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality care for people living with diabetes.
