GPs are the first port of call for women's health issues. We manage the majority of them without recourse to secondary care, even though the amount of time that medical school and vocational training devotes to subjects such as contraception and the menopause can be variable. When we do refer, our patients wait for many months or years, during which we manage symptoms and answer our patients questions. 

In this One Day Essentials conference, Dr Toni Hazell and a group of leading speakers will focus on essential information, latest evidence, practical tips and take-home messages to help improve practice and patient outcomes. The primary care perspective will be foremost in all of the talks, with consideration of the real-life decisions that we make every day whilst working in an under-resourced system. There will be ample opportunity for questions. 

Topics include:

  • Contraception update 
  • Troubleshooting in the menopause 
  • A holistic approach to female urinary incontinence and prolapse
  • Primary care presentations of breast pathology 
  • If you're old enough to have periods, you're old enough to take the pill - Adolescent gynaecology in primary care
  • A primary care approach to fertility 
  • A primary care approach to abnormal vaginal bleeding

Over 2 million people in the UK live with sight loss, and this number is predicted to rise to nearly 4 million by 2050 as our population ages. With eye-related issues accounting for 4.5 million GP consultations annually, GPs are often on the frontline of detecting and managing ophthalmic conditions, yet many feel uncertain due to limited exposure during training.

This interactive, expert-led virtual course is designed to boost your confidence and competence in ophthalmology, helping you recognise red flags, manage common presentations, and make timely referrals. With access to eminent specialists, the day will cover key topics, from acute eye emergencies to chronic conditions, ensuring you leave with actionable skills to implement immediately in your practice.
