Clinical essentials bundle: updates for eczema and gout management

Quality use of medicines (QUM) for eczema and gout management

Enhance your skills and knowledge with this comprehensive education package.

It is easy to think that we know how to manage common conditions like eczema and gout. The evidence says otherwise, which is why we have pulled together this revision bundle. Turns out that there is a lot of confusion about topical corticosteroid (TCS) dose and potency in eczema, and that we remain reluctant to treat urate levels to target in gout.

This bundle includes access to:

• live webinar on 17 December 2024: a concise and informative webinar led by a panel of experts, highlighting the key points that health professionals need to know about the management of eczema and gout. This webinar will also be available on demand. 

• gout mini audit: a practical tool to help you review your current management of adult patients with gout and identify areas for improvement.

• eczema mini audit: a similar tool to guide you through a review of your management of paediatric patients with eczema.

On completion, you will be able to:

• improve your understanding of eczema and gout

• apply the latest evidence-based recommendations to your clinical practice

• identify and address any gaps in your knowledge or skills

• enhance the quality of care you provide to your patients

• earn valuable CPD points across different categories

Maximise your CPD hours:

With the end of the year fast approaching, now is the perfect time to secure your CPD points and fulfil your requirements. This QUM package offers a convenient and effective way to gain points across various CPD categories, helping you meet your professional development goals before the deadline.This activity has been endorsed by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) for the following CPD points:

• 5 Measuring Outcomes (MO) points

• 0.5 Reviewing Performance (RP) points 

• 2 Educational Activity (EA) points 

This initiative, federally funded through the Quality Use of Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Pathology (QUDTP) Program, aims to improve QUM by providing health professionals with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about medicine use. By promoting QUM, we can improve patient safety, reduce medication errors, and enhance the overall quality of healthcare.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to improve your skills and knowledge in managing eczema and gout – and earn crucial CPD points across multiple categories before the year ends!
