All the
presented Hot Topics will be new compared to 2012 so if you came a year
ago, do come back
·
We have streamlined the paper book, and included more of our ever popular KISS summaries.
Less text, more KISS!
·
The electronic
version of the book has been developed to become an invaluable resource to
use during your working day. It is instantly searchable. Original sources are
hyperlinked, and the KISS summaries contain direct links to resources for you
and your patients e.g. a KISS section on Achilles Tendinopathy gives a simple management
algorithm and a link to the information sheet to give your patient with the
appropriate evidence-based exercises to do, cluster headache has a link to the
pre-filled home order oxygen form etc.
·
New to 2013, you will be emailed pre and post course MCQs so that you
can test your knowledge and demonstrate your learning
· For the first-time we have developed some of our
own patient information sources to
reflect current evidence for you to give your patients e.g. for patients
requesting a PSA test, on low salt/high potassium diets in hypertension, low
FODMAP diet in IBS etc
· As ever, a broad
range of topics will be discussed which reflect the incredible diversity of
things we have to deal with primary care from the very complex to the seemingly
simple….highlights will include new research, evidence reviews and guidelines
on:
o How
best to manage patients with multimorbidity
o New
Vitamin D guidelines

resistant hypertension

evidence and guidelines on TIA and stroke
o Dementia

·
An extensive range of other topics, from the
seemingly simple (e.g. acne, erectile dysfunction, polymyalgia….) to the very
complex (e.g. medically unexplained symptoms, end of life care…) and are all fully
updated and included in the book, all with invaluable links and resources
·
As ever we want you to have a relaxing and fun
day out of the practice, so we will keep the atmosphere light, with some good
new funny clips and we really hope you have an enjoyable day
With GPs being so busy, we are convinced that this model provides us the best way of practising patient-centred evidence based medicine. So, do come along and we look forward to seeing you next month!
Simon, Zoe, Neal and Gail
Thanks for a great day yesterday
