Women's health: Endometriosis in general practice – approaches to diagnosis and ongoing care

Endometriosis affects as many as 1 in 7 Australian women but is often under-recognised, with diagnostic delay impacting on the quality of life for patients and those close to them.  This webinar aims to support general practitioners by providing practical, evidence-based strategies for managing endometriosis in line with the recently developed Endometriosis Clinical Practice Guidelines from RANZCOG. Led by Prof Jason Abbott, one of Australia’s leading experts in the field of endometriosis, this session equips GPs with the knowledge and confidence to recognise symptoms, use investigations appropriately, initiate first-line treatments and make timely referrals.

Attendees will gain insight into real-world management approaches, including:

• interpreting investigation results and deciding next steps in primary care

• identifying patients who may benefit from early referral or specialist input

• initiating first-line hormonal and non-hormonal treatments

• pain management and quality-of-life considerations

• shared care approaches and interim management while awaiting specialist review

Through practical guidance, case-based discussion, and evidence-based strategies drawn from the latest RANZCOG guidelines, this interactive webinar helps GPs improve patient outcomes and confidence in day-to-day practice. 

This webinar will be accredited for 1hr EA.  Gain the full suite of CPD points by completing the associated fast track (0.5hr EA and 0.5hr RP) and mini-audit (1hr EA and 2hr MO).
