General Practitioners (GPs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are often the first healthcare professionals to identify concerns relating to growth, puberty, and thyroid function in children and adolescents. Early recognition and appropriate referral can play a critical role in improving health outcomes and ensuring timely access to specialist care.
Capital Health Network, in partnership with Canberra Health Services, invites GPs, NPs and other primary healthcare professionals to an evening of education, discussion and networking focused on common paediatric endocrinology presentations encountered in primary care. Through evidence-based presentations and case discussions, paediatric endocrinologists will explore the assessment, investigation and referral pathways for disorders of growth, puberty and thyroid function in children and adolescents.
Learning outcomes
Topics discussed include:
- Identifying normal and abnormal growth patterns in children and adolescents
- Understanding appropriate investigations for growth concerns and referral requirements
- Assessing and referring children with early, delayed and atypical puberty
- Recognising common thyroid disorders and their clinical significance
- Understanding referral pathways and treatment considerations for paediatric thyroid conditions
- Applying practical, case-based approaches to paediatric endocrine presentations in primary care
