STI Community of Practice – Mpox

Hosted by the Victorian HIV and Hepatitis Integrated Training And Learning (VHHITAL) program, this webinar is intended to support primary healthcare practitioners with the opportunity to bring case studies for discussion and mutual learning. This peer learning approach enhances the future practice of low case load practitioners or even the most experienced practitioners who can benefit from being part of a community of practice.

Mpox is an urgent notifiable condition and cases have been increasing globally and within Victoria.
