From hospital to home: coordinated heart failure care in general practice

Heart failure continues to drive significant illness, hospitalisation and premature death across Australia, highlighting the need for a primary care focus on systematic recall, coordinated monitoring and follow-up workflows that fit naturally within general practice.

This webinar will help support general practice teams strengthen early post-discharge heart failure care, with expert insights, evidence updates, and practical strategies for follow-up, medication management, monitoring, self-management, and escalation. 

You’ll hear from expert primary care health professionals:

• Cardiologist – Dr Vicki Pandeli on why primary care–led optimisation is expected, supported and essential between hospital visits.
• GP – Assoc Prof Ralph Audehm on translating guidelines into real‑world workflows, recall systems and team roles.
• Consultant pharmacist – Mr Brian Meier on medicines optimisation, deprescribing and supporting adherence and patient understanding.
• Cardiac clinical nurse specialist – Ms Kirsten Sandstrom on nurse‑led monitoring, education, vaccination and coordination that sustain long‑term heart failure care.

This webinar is suitable for general practitioners, practice nurses, practice managers, pharmacists and other multidisciplinary primary care clinicians.
