This practice-wide quality improvement exercise will enable you to identify potential barriers to vaccine uptake and check your performance against evidence-based benchmarks. \n\n\n\nThere are two pathways for this program\, one for GPs\, and one for Practice staff (including practice managers\, practice nurses and other relevant practice staff). Please ensure you select the right program for your position. \n\n\n\nThis education is designed to take place over multiple weeks. It does not need to be completed in one sitting. You can stop at any time\, and progress will be saved. You can find education you have started on your Dashboard. \n\n\n\nOn completion of this quality improvement program\, you will be able to:  \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the current status of COVID-19 in Australia\, in particular its impact on older patients in primary care \n\n\n\nClarify the role of vaccination in preventing COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality in older patients \n\n\n\nReview current best practice recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination in patients aged 65 and older \n\n\n\nUsing a team-based approach\, decide on quality improvement targets and actions related to improving uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in older patients in primary care \n\n\n\nImplement and reflect on practice-wide quality improvement initiatives for increasing COVID-19 vaccine uptake

SUMMARY:RSV vaccination for older people webinar
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an informative webinar exploring the new Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccination program for older adults and what it means for healthcare professionals working across primary care\, aged care\, community health\, and immunisation services. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will provide an overview of RSV disease burden in older Australians\, current vaccine options\, eligibility criteria\, and key clinical considerations for supporting vaccine uptake. \n\n\n\nParticipants will also gain practical insights into communicating with patients about RSV\, addressing common questions\, and integrating RSV vaccination into routine preventive care. \n\n\n\nWith new vaccination recommendations and program developments emerging\, it is essential that healthcare professionals remain up to date with the latest evidence\, eligibility requirements\, and practical implementation considerations.

SUMMARY:A concise update on hip arthroscopy - hip conditions affecting young patients and when to refer for surgery?
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning outcomes\n\n\n\n\nDescribe the development of hip arthroscopy in Australia and the current indications for this surgery\, including when to refer. \n\n\n\nList current techniques for hip replacement and the benefits of the Anterior approach for your patients \n\n\n\nDiscuss the questions your patients may ask about the current state of play in knee replacement techniques\, alignment philosophies\, the use of robotics and PSI and different approaches\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker biography\n\n\n\nDr Jason Hockings is a Victorian-trained Orthopaedic Surgeon with subspecialist expertise in hip and knee surgery. \n\n\n\nDr Hockings completed his orthopaedic training in Victoria in 2021 and have since undertaken multiple post-fellowship training programs to further develop his skills and expertise. His additional training includes a Melbourne-based fellowship with Professor John O’Donnell\, focusing on hip arthroscopy and anterior hip replacement\, as well as advanced training in Edinburgh with a focus on complex and revision joint replacement and robotic-assisted techniques. Dr Hockings also completed an advanced arthroplasty and sports fellowship on the NSW Central Coast. \n\n\n\nDr Hockings’ surgical interests include hip replacement via the direct anterior muscle-sparing approach\, hip arthroscopy\, arthroscopic sports knee surgery\, robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement\, and subvastus (muscle-sparing) advanced kinematically aligned knee replacement surgery. \n\n\n\nDr Hockings is committed to delivering high-quality\, patient-centred care across both public and private settings\, with a strong focus on hip and knee surgery.He holds public appointments at St Vincent’s and Eastern Health\, and consults and operates at Cabrini Malvern.
