Utilisation of Artificial Intelligence in General Practice | EWS | REWIND

This is a recording of a live webinar that took place on 11 September 2024. This recording will be available to view until 1 July 2025.

We are increasingly being told that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the future. It has the power to revolutionise the way we provide care and practice medicine. Whilst there is plenty of talk of all the novel ways that AI will help us in the future, what assistance can AI offer an NHS GP now? This webinar will look at the ways that a GP can utilise AI today and will explore some of the tools that are available to GPs now. Through outlining and analysing these tools, we will support GPs in examining if these tools can support them with their current workloads. We will also discuss some of the medico-legal and technological barriers that can prevent GPs from adopting these tools, so that NHS GPs can be empowered to explore the AI tool marketplace independently.


Learning objectives:

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the range of AI tools available to NHS GPs and how these can support GPs in best treating their patients.
  • Gain knowledge about the medico-legal, technological and financial implications of utilising these tools.
  • Explore the AI tool marketplace confidently and make informed decisions about how AI can be embedded into their practice.

Women's health | One Day Essentials | REWIND

This is a recording of a live conference that took place on 07 March 2025. This recording will be available to view until 17 December 2025.

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. 

Learning Objectives:

  • To gain confidence in the management of women’s health issues in primary care, and knowledge of when referral is appropriate. 
  • To understand the updated NICE guideline on menopause and how to explain complex issues of risks and benefits to women contemplating HRT, as well as being aware of the British Menopause Society guidance on unscheduled bleeding on HRT and how this might affect your referral decisions. 
  • To understand how to manage suspected endometriosis in primary care and how decisions on referral should be individualised depending on factors such as symptom severity and desire to conceive. 
  • To be updated on contraception and the latest thinking in PCOS. 
  • To be aware of the NICE guidelines on familial cancer risk and know how to manage a patient who presents with concerns about genetic risks of cancer. 
  • To be able to talk to women holistically throughout their life and give sensible advice when asked about lifestyle and complementary medicine.  

Topics include:

  • Menopause update: What NICE did and did not say in 2024?
  • Bleeding on HRT
  • Contraception cluedo: Update your contraceptive knowledge for 2025
  • Endometriosis
  • Familial cancer
  • PCOS 
  • Holistic women's health throughout the life cycle
