Clinical Hot Topics: Addressing health inequalities in primary care | Part 1

RCGP member benefit
Date of publication: January 2024


This is a recording of a live full-day conference that took place on 18 January 2024. This recording will be available to view until 2 October 2024.

This is the first in a 2-part series of FREE-to-member one-day conferences addressing clinical issues arising from health inequalities and demonstrating how GPs can positively influence health inequalities as practitioners and community leaders. 

Health inequalities are differences in health across the population and between different groups in society that are systematic, unfair and avoidable. General practice, with its unrivalled access to the heart of communities, has a key role in addressing both causes and consequences of health inequalities in the UK. We recognise general practice is a diverse profession caring for multiple patient populations and our aim is to move from conversations to actions, improving patient care in these communities.

This programme was put together by RCGP Officers, Faculty Education Leads and expert speakers, who are participating throughout the day and will include examples of best practice, relevant guidance and links to useful resources.

Areas covered:

  • Incorporating health inequalities into training portfolios
  • Migrant health and asylum seekers in hotels
  • Black women with period issues or fertility concerns
  • Health in gypsy and traveller communities
  • Language discrimination
  • Ramadan clinical management
  • Trans health
  • Social prescribing as a tool for tackling health inequalities
  • Mental health
  • Improving the health and well-being for communities in deprived areas

Neurodevelopmental Health | One Day Essentials | REWIND

This is a recording of a live conference that took place on 25 October 2024. This recording will be available to view until 11 August 2025.

GPs have a role in recognising, monitoring, coordinating and reviewing patients with difficulties in communication, relationships, and managing their own affairs. Neurodiversity is far more common than most people realise, and it is estimated that around 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent. Our aim is to share with you the challenges the neurodiverse population face in the neurotypical world. Health outcomes and access to health remain a challenge and we hope to show you some easy ways to help in the general practice setting.


Topics:

  • Understanding autism
  • How to manage ND in a 10 minute GP consultation
  • Connections between neurodiversity and hypermobility syndromes
  • Somatic Comorbidity in ADHD: A primary care snapshot & brief literature review
  • Safeguarding risks
  • Overlaps between ND conditions
  • Setting up a GPwER in ADHD
  • Neurodiversity and learning disabilities


Conference Chair:

Dr Heidi Phillips, Neurodevelopmental Specialist GP, RCGP Clinical Advisor for Neurodiversity

One Day Essential – Hot Topics

This is a recording of a live conference that took place on 15 October 2024. This recording will be available to view until 1 August 2025.

This one day conference aims to refresh and renew information on common infectious diseases that primary care clinicians are likely to encounter over the 2024/25 winter period. Dr David M. Smith and a selection of leading expert speakers, who are closely associated with primary care, focus on essential information, latest evidence, practical tips, and take-home messages to help improve practice and patient outcomes around infectious diseases. 


The winter months are increasingly difficult for primary care teams; this conference aims to empower GPs to increase their knowledge about the infectious diseases patients are most likely present with this winter. Through increasing clinical knowledge, we aim to improve the confidence and resilience of GPs heading into the winter period.



Topics include:    

1.    What’s on the horizon this winter 

2.    Measles and mpox

3.    Infectious gastroenteritis diseases 

4.    Hints/tips on tackling common respiratory conditions 

5.    Pragmatic issues on increasing immunisation rates 

6.    How best to manage scabies


Learning objectives:

  • Update knowledge as to any anticipated acute rises in circulating pathogens over the winter
  • Refresh knowledge of management of frequently seen conditions, to enable more effective triaging to take place.
  • Develop techniques to increase vaccination rates.
