Feedback from previous Hot Topics participants

"Good breadth of topics covered to keep me up to date. Arguably the most essential part of my CPD each year"

"Well presented new evidence relevant to practice. Learnt great things I can implement tomorrow. Love feeling up to date"

"Very useful, evidence based and relevant info to general practice. The chat is also really useful, gives more of the local Australian context"

"Great updates of everyday issues in general practice but also the most current information from research. Appropriate to Australian GP but also interesting to hear of guidelines and medicine in other countries"

"Well presented, simple format, engaging, factually correct, evidence based, non pharma sponsored"

"This educational activity has certainly made me more aware of current guidelines and [affects] various areas in medicine. I am more aware of red flags, ways of investigating and ways of prescribing and I might ditch some old habits"

"I enjoy doing these courses at home. I enjoy them being interactive and if I can't make it, I can catch up some other time too. I really enjoy the "GP relevant" presentations and can apply what I learn into my practice"
