SUMMARY:COVID-19 vaccination in Australian general practice Quality Improvement Program
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 our experts as they discuss latest recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination in older patients. 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:APA Breakfast & Presentation -  Prehab for Major Cancer 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\nJoin us at the annual VIC Branch Winter Breakfast. \n\n\n\nOur keynote speaker\, Professor Catherine Granger\, will be presenting ‘Prehab for Major Cancer Surgery’. \n\n\n\nCancer surgery represents a significant physiological stressor\, yet many patients enter the operating theatre deconditioned and unprepared. After surgery\, patients commonly experience physical and psychological impairments that range from short-term complications to persistent medium- or long-term effects\, significantly impacting function and health-related quality of life.  \n\n\n\nPrehabilitation\, a multimodal intervention combining exercise\, nutrition\, psychological support\, and patient education\, offers an evidence-based approach to optimise surgical outcomes and accelerate recovery. Recent evidence demonstrates that both comprehensive prehabilitation programs and targeted interventions such as preoperative exercise training or respiratory education effectively minimise postoperative pulmonary complications and maximise patient outcomes.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation explores the rationale for preoperative interventions in major cancer surgery and their measurable benefits. We will examine practical interventions that physiotherapists and the wider healthcare team can implement across settings – hospitals\, community services\, primary care and private practices. Interventions range from brief single preoperative physiotherapy sessions to comprehensive multimodal programs spanning weeks before surgery. Prehabilitation principles are applicable across diverse cancer surgery types\, including thoracic\, abdominal\, pelvic\, and head and neck procedures.  \n\n\n\nUltimately\, this presentation aims to equip physiotherapists with the knowledge and confidence to integrate prehabilitation into their practice\, ensuring more patients can access these evidence-based interventions.
