Identify a diverse range of carers within general practice settings
Recognise the impact of caring on a person’s health and wellbeing
Identify ways to partner with carers in general practice

Choice, voice and control in trauma‑informed abortion care
Individuals who undergo abortion are up to three times more likely to have experienced prior traumatic events compared with the general reproductive age population, including sexual assault, interpersonal violence, or adverse childhood events.
Trauma-informed care is a service framework built on recognising how past trauma shapes an individual’s life, influences their specific needs, and dictates how they interact with support systems.
This webinar will explore how the provision of trauma informed care can change how individuals accessing abortion care are given choice, voice and control in reproductive care.
Topics covered include:
core principles of trauma informed care, intersectionality in practice
barriers to trauma informed care
targeted considerations of clinical responses to intimate partner violence, sexual assault and reproductive coercion

Current and Emerging Therapies for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects more than 600 million people worldwide and remains a leading cause of pain, disability, and joint replacement. Despite its enormous burden, current care continues to fall short: core treatments are underused, many patients receive low-value or fragmented care, and available pharmacologic options offer only modest benefit with safety concerns. Optimising evidence-based foundations—education, weight management, exercise therapy, and psychologically informed care—must remain the first priority. These interventions are highly effective, scalable, and central to preventing treatment failure, yet remain inconsistently implemented across health systems. At the same time, rapid innovation is reshaping what is possible in OA management.
- Repurposed medications: such as GLP-1 agonists, metformin, and methotrexate show meaningful improvements in pain, function, and potentially disease progression.
- Digital health tools: AI-enabled self-management platforms, and remote monitoring tools are transforming access, adherence, and personalised care.
- Advances in smart drug delivery systems: Rather than just treating symptoms, senolytics and therapies that aim to modify OA by targeting specific molecular mechanisms (Endo-type targeted disease modifying drugs - DMOADs) offer the prospect of precision medicine, with pivotal trials expected in 2026.
The future of OA care will rely on integrating these innovations with optimised core treatment models. Combining behavioural, pharmacological, and technological strategies offers an opportunity to reduce treatment failure, promote equity, and deliver patient-centred, mechanism-aligned care at scale.

Carers NSW: Strengthening Clinical Outcomes in General Practice through Carer Identification and Support
Carers of people with disability, mental illness, alcohol or drug dependency, terminal illness, frail aged or chronic illness have worse physical and mental health outcomes as compared to the general population.
GPs are in the best position to identify carers early and ensure access to health and other services.
There is emerging evidence that caring itself is a social determinant of health.
Additionally, involving carers in treatment planning for the person they care for leads to better outcomes.
Carers NSW, the peak organisation for carers in NSW, is offering a free 60-minute interactive online workshop to provide general practice staff with practical steps to identify carers earlier, involve them appropriately in care, and connect them to support, helping improve continuity of care for patients and carers.
Carers are present in every general practice, yet they often go unnoticed or unrecognised. Around one in eight people is a carer, supporting treatment adherence of the patient attending the GP, attending appointments, and managing day-to-day care. However, many do not identify themselves as carers or access available supports until they are already overwhelmed. For many, general practice is the first place where the strain of caring may be noticed. Early identification can support better planning, clearer follow-up and fewer avoidable escalations for both the patient and the family or friend carer. The session will explore common scenarios encountered in general practice, demonstrate best-practice approaches, and equip attendees with practical tools to identify, engage, and refer carers to appropriate supports and support better clinical outcomes for both care recipients and carers.
Designed to be both informative and interactive, this workshop aims to build staff confidence to recognise carers in everyday consults and practice workflows, supporting clearer carer planning and continuity of care, without adding unnecessary work to already busy teams.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
Identify a diverse range of carers earlier within general practice settings
Recognise the impact of caring on a person’s health and wellbeing
Identify ways to partner with carers in general practice
Initiate appropriate referrals for carers to improve health outcomes and continuity of care
Apply practical strategies that support carer inclusion in healthcare
