1 in 3 young women with heavy periods have an underlying bleeding disorder¹ – but it can take up to 16 years² to diagnose them. Why wait?

Join Australia’s leading haematology and Women’s Health specialists for an expert-led, case-driven discussion to advance care in general practice. This session addresses the common presentation of HMB to explore the under-diagnosed spectrum of systemic bleeding disorders (like Von Willebrand Disease)³ and their link to iron deficiency.

Walk away with a streamlined, practical clinical framework you can use tomorrow to confidently identify, investigate, and manage these patients—ensuring high-standard continuous care, regardless of geography. Don’t just manage the flow—master the cause with confidence. End the 16-year diagnostic delay for your patients.

Menarini is pleased to invite you to our live recorded webinar medical education featuring Dr Anita Muñoz MBBS (Hons), FRACGP, GradCertClinTeach, MPH, GAICD, Dr Sara Ng – Haematologist, Dr Danny Hsu – Haematologist . If you are a primary care physician, or associated health care professional with an interest in women’s health and iron deficiency, join us for this exciting event.

The Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use at the University of Sydney has been funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing to develop a series of on-demand webinars on evidence-based practice. Our webinars are freely available and focus on building capacity in relation to evidence-based practice approaches to the management and treatment of co-occurring alcohol and other drug (AOD) and mental health conditions. All previous webinars are freely available via the Comorbidity Project webinar library.

This August, we bring you a two-part special webinar series on domestic and family violence (DFV). Presented by Associate Professor Sophie Isobel and Rodney Vlais, these special edition 90-minute webinars will explore the two perspectives of working with both victim survivors and adult users of DFV, and attendees are encouraged to come along to both.

Speaker: Rodney Vlais

Rodney Vlais (them/they) is a behaviour change specialist, training provider, supervisor, evaluator and psychologist in engaging men who cause family violence harm. They have substantial experience both as a men’s behaviour change practitioner and in policy and capability-building work, running or contributing to projects commissioned by NGOs and/or government agencies across Australia.

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Understand their role in addressing domestic and family violence (DFV) use in the context of core service delivery to the client, and opportunities to contribute towards the safety of those experiencing the client’s violence.
2. Consider intersectional feminist, trauma-informed and shame-sensitive practice concepts when leaning into ‘courageous conversations’ with clients who use violence, when safe to do so.
   Hear some examples of practice tips, and about available resources to explore in more depth.

This is part two of a two-part special webinar series on domestic and family violence. We strongly encourage attendance at both webinars. Part one of this webinar series will take place on Monday 3rd of August 12:00pm-1:30pm AEST. Associate Professor Sophie Isobel will present on Navigating the intersection of domestic and family violence and alcohol and other drug services: practice considerations for staff.
