Many clinicians are collecting patient-reported data. Far fewer are using it — and fewer still are aggregating it to improve care across a whole system. This free series is about closing that gap: turning patient-reported measures into better care, from the point of care through to system improvement.

It’s relevant right across the system — for multidisciplinary teams (GPs, nurses and allied health), and for the PHNs, commissioners and technology partners working to make patient-reported data usable at scale.

The three sessions build on each other — come to one, or all three:

1. Webinar 1 · From Collection to Curiosity — Tuesday 28 July
2. Webinar 2 · From Insight to Action — Wednesday 9 September
3. Webinar 3 · From Practice to System (live data clinic) — Wednesday 21 October
   All sessions 12–1pm AEST, online.

What makes it different: hosts Dr Paresh Dawda (GP, Prestantia Health) and Shelley Thomson (Patient Experience Agency) interpret a real, de-identified dataset live, on air — you bring the questions, not your data. It’s practical, not theoretical, with a GP, patient-experience specialists, multidisciplinary team members and patient voices in every session.

Register once for all three, or just the sessions that suit you. Can’t make it live? Register, and we’ll send you the recording.

Microsuction is a strategic treatment option for ear health, whether it is a foreign body or wax removal that is required. This course requires a strong understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the ear. Build the knowledge of when to use microsuction, as a technique, with practice and assessments using mannequins to enhance capability, and strengthen patient care.

Learning Outcomes

1. Establishing the need for microsuction and assessing the client’s physical and pathophysiological auditory status.
2. Applying the fit and use of a binocular headworn microscope.
3. Examine and select the tools required to perform ear wax removal.
4. Classify and prepare equipment for microsuction.
5. Perform ear wax removal and/or ear canal microsuctioning procedures if deemed appropriate and safe.
6. Provide post-procedure care.
7. As an RACGP accredited provider, this activity provides the following:
8. Reviewing Performance – 2 Hours
9. Educational Activities – 2.5 Hours

We are also a CPD Home Certified Learning Provider and our Course in Ear Wax Removal (Microsuction) is an Accredited CPD Activity.

Develop knowledge and skills exploring a range of wound closure and suture techniques with a face-to-face workshop where students are equipped with a workshop kit. Understand what the optimal wound closure methodology would be based on the simplest procedure with the most durable outcome for patients.

Learning Outcomes

1. At the successful completion of the Course in Wound Closure, students will have the knowledge and skills to determine the best wound closure technique for each situation to achieve durability and simplicity.
2. Students will develop the ability to close wounds using a variety of methods and materials including sutures, skin staples, tissue adhesive and adhesive strips.
